Yes, but f*ck the corrupt 32 1st, no?

“Researchers who examined the brain determined it was “the most severe case they had ever seen in someone of Aaron’s age,” said a lawyer for Hernandez in announcing the result at a news conference on Thursday. Hernandez was 27.”

The NCAA is going down on this too.

How many 27 year old ex football players' brains do you suppose they have looked at in their research history?

A psychopath with severe CTE? That's terrible and a ticking time bomb ready to happen.

No

And that's how the corrupt 32 gets away with it. With shallow responses like this. It's important to consider their greed and the damage it's doing on society. There's a lot of indirect impact that leads to the suffering of many people. And the corrupt 32 are a big contributor to that.

CTE is a huge deal but, as people have noted with varying degrees of empathy in the thread, it's only one part of a wider picture when it comes to talking about aggression, domestic violence, and so on.

NFL players are hypermasculine manchildren who have been pampered since they were adolescents. They participate in a game that's the modern equivalent of gladiatorial combat. They suffer daily accumulations of brain damage equivalent to years of aging. They take an insane ****tail of largely untested chemicals and dangerous and highly addictive narcotics in order to keep up performance and dull the pain.

It's not just one thing.

No I didn't say that, I just said Hernandez family morals > corrupt 32 morals.

And to give you a bit of a reference here, the corrupt 32 don't have any morals. They're vile scum. So It's pretty hard to possess less morality than the corrupt 32. You gotta be like Hitler or something.

Pretty sure the testing procedures for CTE are fairly strict in what they're looking for. In other words, I don't think we'd see as much mimicking of drug use like you would with other diseases, but I could be wrong. I'm sure we'll be finding more out about it in the coming months.

Yep. All speculation WebMD style

Yeah. Drug and alcohol use don't cause tau deposits. There's literally no way to mistake these.

It's far from shallow.

The crime of corruption isn't even close to murder. The son of a *****'s family deserves nothing. If he didnt kill Lloyd none of this would have come to light. Additionally, we don't even know if they should even be held responsible.

Keep in mind you have 1000s of players making millions of dollars who have a complete understanding of the risk involved. Corrupt owners notwithstanding.

I hate the owners too but you are off on this one.

Thoughtful piece from Steph last year on head injuries:

it is difficult to honestly educate and reduce fear and, at the same time, avoid engaging in propaganda and advocacy in an attempt to save the sport and maximize the dollars that come from it.

The risks are not completely understood. They are, in fact, poorly understood. Much more heat than light.

Seriously?

Give people credit.

If 99% of the people playing HS football or higher or parent doesn't know concussions = cte by now then they are still in 1992

All I know is, if his family manages to get even more rich off of the Patriots because pyschotic serial killer Hernandez decided to kill himself in his prison cell instead of serve out his multiple life sentences for the people he MURDERED, then add it to the pile of evidence that demonstrates what a joke the entire legal system is


Poor little victim Hernandez.. its the Patriot's fault he was a serial killer that committed suicide, lets sue them for millions of dollars so we don't have to work anymore

The risk is a proportion which is unknown.

Did Goodell put you up to that answer?
