Aaron Hernandez's lawyer says he had Stage 3 CTE.... Is suing the League and the Patriots
- Thread starter fonzerrillii
- Start date
This is a palladium of an opportunity.For all the science heads on the board, you figure out how to identify and assess CTE on a live brain, in real time,
Man, even though I chose to play in middle school and high school, I knew it wasn't worth it when I learned in elementary that during the 1st Roosevelt administratiin at the turn of the 20th century, players were dying during and after games.Football don't e'en seem like it's worth it anymore.
Remember, the forward pass is the ONLY reason we know football even exists as we know it today.
If it wasn't that single rule change, that sh!t was set to be banned in 1905.
As well as high school.
Hernandez probably played football most of his life.... ARE probably started early.
I hope they have to pay! Handsomely!
im confiused here...people are blaming the nfl for CTE or just for NOT catching it?
My understanding is that CTE is caused by brain trauma through football contact, correct?
by the time the average NFLer makes the league....hasnt he been playing football for what...12-15yrs? these cats start early in Louisiana...i dont know how it is in other states....cats could have literally been getting concussions for atleast a decade before they are even drafted....
maybe im thinking about this all wrong....but this seems logical to me
You have a brain condition also Acur
Lying ass Acur
Man how many of y'all like me who played comin up wondering do you have it man damn
I played linebacker most of my football years, back them practices were hitting and more hitting, the bull in the ring, all them crazy ass drills, I even played running back for 2 years. Shit is serious.
My son just now getting ok with throwing one. Give him the rock and he will cross most 8 years olds. No football for him. Too many questions and he not gonna be in that position to HAVE to play that game. They talking about prevention and treatment for CTE.... Yea aight.....
Ahahhahahahah
You have to prove it tho
Can't IMO
this is all still new there isn't a track record of suppressing medical reports like there is in the NFL imo
You know how the NFL has ruined a lot of guys with there domestic violence stance. I wonder if Ray Rice KOed his wife because of CTE. IF so they both should sue the NFL.
Yeah a lot of the punishment actually comes from practice which is why they have reduced hitting at practice on all levels
Theres clear evidence Hernandez was Reckless even before he played
One nfl snap.... NFL lawyers would have a field day with this case imo
They might but also they might settle because if it goes to discovery, they probably won't want to release the shit that they haven't had to release yet.
we'll see.
As far as he goes, he's clearly had CTE for a long ass time if his is the same as someone who's lived 40 years longer than him.
Man how many of y'all like me who played comin up wondering do you have it man damn
Well probably have some form of it
Granted I didn't really play long but those who did pop warner through high school just think about it.
maybe if you stopped at high school it gave your brain time to heal and its getting better maybe that stops it.. i don't know how it works.
The judge will more than likely throw this dumbass lawsuit out. Suing the NFL and the Patriots
, dude was a thug, killer and fag, there are hundreds of thousands more just like him out there were/are they suffering from CTE too?
Earl CAMPBELL ain't kill nobody
The younger you start the more likely you are to have issues. It's the cumulative head trauma and it's different in each person. The position you played (how much impact), the number of years you played (youth tackle through college), and your brain chemistry.
I played football... loved it. I played 1 year of college football... my body couldn't handle the way I played (my body started breaking down in high school if i'm honest). I want my youngest to play... and he wants to play but I just can't see me letting him (I was gonna make him wait until HS... now i'm not sure). I've got a few friends who played professionally (Redskins, Giants, Patriots) at various positions (tight end, outside linebacker, offensive guard). All of them have super bowl rings but all of them aren't doing too well. One of my guys (in spite of changing his diet and cutting alcohol) is really struggling and the effects of CTE are becoming noticeable. He made a lot of money when he played... it's gone. He has his NFL pension but it's not enough... he's too young. The other two played 3 or 4 seasons each before injury got'm, they're doing better.
Tough but I think i'm done with football. As hard as that is to say and admit.

Actually your logic is exactly like mine and why I have issues with CTE. Only a tiny fraction of the people that have played football in their lives make it into league and most of these would have played longer then the average NFL players shelf life. So where is the causality for CTE ... Pee wee ball, junior and high school or NFL.
Also what about MMA, Boxers, Or Rugby players...
Hell let's just be real.. what about Hockey. Hockey is the easily the most violent sport out right now... what about hockey players.
For as dumb as he was, he might get his wife and kid a bag
Between the appeal and the CTE
Can't hardly walk either. The NFL and its Doctors lied on prognosis to get players back into the field. Do you guys not see the issue ?
Idiots fail to realize that your employer has to make available what health issues you could occur or have sustained. For the past years I've worked in a refinery. I got exposed to benzene they tested me asap letting me know my exposure. That had to let me know. The NFL would have injured players and lie to them on their prognosis. Pump em full of drug and send them back out there. It's not about they knew the risk. Guess what they didn't know or weren't properly informed. The Doctors didn't perform their oaths either. I hope the NFL breaks something has to give.
IMO, this will bring a very slow end to football as sport. As the younger generation start being steered away and not being allowed to play the game.
My nephews are playing now but both are already talking about not playing much longer.
If the suit is won then a precedence is established then it's open season. There are plenty of well versed and savvy lawyers outside the NFL who's waiting for this cash cow.

She gon get dat sack!
She gon get dat sack!
I rather have no knees than my head be fried with cte
CTE is bullshit. I know plenty of people with brain trauma and the side effects do not include murdering your homeboy over some weed. Fuck him.
