Hawt NFL Deserves Its Own Thread - THIS ONE

[Valve1138]

then again, the suicide indicates regret. Maybe he wasnt as thuggish as he was made out to be, and his brain really was fucked up.

Who knows.

Most guys with CTE wind up killing themselves.

He's not suing anyone...

His ghost says fuck you!

Hernandez found to have severe CTE

https://arstechnica.com/science/201...ide-aaron-hernandez-found-to-have-severe-cte/

So now it's been medically confirmed he wasn't right in the head.

Anabolic steroid abuse also can cause aggressive behaviors. He was only 27 years old, and a big tight end, did he have enough concussions to have that degree of CTE in his career? I wonder if the performance enhancing drugs worsen the effects of concussions? Or cause physical brain damage on their own?

Those guys basically get into 10-20 car wrecks every Sunday. Regardless if it ends up diagnosed as a full concussion, it's really fucking bad. And as Brady's wife alluded to earlier this year, they do their best to hide any symptoms of a concussion.

they do their best to hide any symptoms of a concussion.

And for good reason. Imagine what would happen if one of them took a game off for a non visible head injury. They'd never play again

The NFL just wants this whole CTE thing to go away
Unfortunately it can only be diagnosed after death. For now.
Shit will really hit the fan when they find a way to diagnose it in the living.

I don't see how they can fix it. Football as we know it might be dead in 10-20 years.

these people signed up knowing the risks and are paid very well for it.

No helmets or pads.

Or they all sign waivers and it turns into the football from Starship Troopers.

I first heard about this years ago when Ditka was on Howard Stern. It makes *some* sense, but I dunno if it would work. Either way, my statement that football as we know it might be dead in 10-20 still stands.

I think too, if they actually enforced the performance enhancing drug rules,the players wouldn't be so huge. 350 pounders do more damage than 220 pounders.

It's already headed that way.
Since I was young the game is significantly more sissified than it used to be.
Hell
Back in the day the players wore leather helmets and virtually no padding.
In a few more years it's probably going to be either a case of so much armor that they might as well be in tanks.
OR
It will be reduced to glorified flag football.
Either way, it's not the same sport as before.

Why are you bringing politics into the sports thread, anyways?
