Scott Gilchrist said his father had a legitimate reason to think he was unfairly compensated during his playing days. It's the reason his father refused induction into the Canadian Football Hall of Fame in the 1980s.

He sounds like he was bitter and held (perhaps legitimately) a grudge. That's CTE?
