This is a palladium of an opportunity.There is currently no way to screen for it, and the only way to determine if a person had it is to remove their brain after they die.
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.
This shit would open a pandora box so big. You know Ron Goldman dad is looking and ready to sue on OJ's behalf.
As well as high school.Does the NCAA test their athletes for CTE? I do understand that pro football is a bit more violent since everyone is fast and strong, but you can get your bell ring in college too.
His lawyer is saying it's the most severe case ever seen in a 27 year old.
See this right here... makes me question CTE. How long was he even in the league? 2 maybe 3 years....
Either way... this one is going to be interesting.
Didn't they say he was involved in alot of fights in prison. Could the CTE be related to that or could the Fights in Prison be some of the cause of the CTE. Something tells me that this case is going to bring up alot of Prison Shit that the Family might not want put out in the public.... but his prison life does become relevant if you are looking for causality.
Now the Monday morning fantasy loving qb kap jersey wearing red, black and green brehs get a conscious about the dangerous of CTE. U have brehs walking round with a cane like someone's 90 yr old Dad.
A friend of mine has CTE. He ran into a glass door full speed. He's a former pro.
Man how many of y'all like me who played comin up wondering do you have it man damn
damn...wonder if they're gonna argue it could've "influenced" the killings...could open the door for the victims' families to sue the NFL as well
Side note...
How many of y'all are letting your boys play football?
Ahahhahahahahthis gonna make his gridiron killer movie even better....this gonna be the epic conclusion...a doctor gonna be in the hospital and they gonna be like why was he so crazy..than somebody gonna look at a scan his eyes gonna get big and they gonna do the slowmotion run in the hallway to a board meeting..as the board meeting goes on the doctor gonna run in and in slowmo go " he had cte"...than u here the jason voorhee's noise..than the credits..yessssssssssss make this movie now
You have to prove it thoSlippery slope if they win the suit, then anything involving a Football player being abusive or violent can be in part blamed on CTE.
Can't IMOAre they going to sue his High School and College also...
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.Slippery slope if they win the suit, then anything involving a Football player being abusive or violent can be in part blamed on CTE.
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.
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
I hope the family can sue the NFLdamn...wonder if they're gonna argue it could've "influenced" the killings...could open the door for the victims' families to sue the NFL as well
Theres clear evidence Hernandez was Reckless even before he played
One nfl snap.... NFL lawyers would have a field day with this case imo
Man how many of y'all like me who played comin up wondering do you have it man damn

I don't see her getting a big win from this. Could be wrong, but the NFL's legal team is huge and they will say first, that you can't prove that the CTE caused him to commit suicide, especially since he had just been sentenced to life in prison, which any juror will see as a probable cause.
Also, his pro career was only 3 years.... they could argue that high school and college ball contributed as much as or more than his NFL career. I'm not siding with the league by any means; just thinking about what they'll say in court.
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

He was a dumbass and a killer, nothing more nothing less. Fuck outta here with that CTE bullshit. They've been going hard to make that asshole into a model citizen since he died.
Earl CAMPBELL ain't kill nobody
My sister already told my nephew he's not playing no more football after this year......I saw a new report yesterday saying a lot of parents aren't letting their sons play football due to CTE.
You have to prove it tho
A recent study found that 99% of deceased NFL players have chronic traumatic encephalopathy, or CTE. It is a “neurodegenerative brain disease” that is caused by “repeated head trauma.” Symptoms include “memory loss, confusion, impaired judgment, aggression, depression, anxiety, impulse control issues and sometimes suicidal behavior.”
Word. Fuck these muthafuckas.Anything to watch these cocksuckas suffer.
