Mark Rypien on His Mental Health Struggles: 'I've Been Down Dark Places'
We were talking about CTE on the banning kickoff thread. Everytime I see one of these former players with one of these stories, I cringe. It's awful. We all love this sport, but here's another reason for Little Johnny's Mum to not let him play football.
"I would change it. I don't enjoy going through the strategies, and the medicine to just try to live a normal life. As much as I love sports. I'd try something else. I'd become a really good swimmer. I'd become a really good tennis player. I'd become something. I'd do something that kept me from the hits, the concussive and sub-concussive hits that I took."
