Sep 23, 2017 CTE is most definitely a real problem and one the NFL needs to solve, but there has been a mass hysteria surrounding football since it was first discovered. I just think we're still early on in the research and it's still a bit murky. Like Worm said most of the players in the league suffer from CTE, but most don't take matters to this extreme. Not every brain reacts the same way to the disease. I think there are bigger factors at play with Hernandez. It's reported that he was never the same after his father died when he was a kid, he hung out with the wrong crowd all of his life, he was investigated for a double shooting as a freshmen in college long before he was playing football against grown men (he very well could have had CTE before he stepped foot on a college field, but I think most of it came from his four years in college and four in the NFL), it's also reported that he was a frequent user of PCP. All things line up for being able to pin this on CTE, but I think if you take a closer look there's more important things to consider
Sep 23, 2017 The trainer f----- up my brother his sophomore year in high school. They never took his baseline test and he suffered two really bad concussions in the matter of a week after they cleared him to play the first time. The second time he didn't really say anything because it was the same feeling as the first so he thought he was good. Started getting really bad migraines and acting r-----ed so my parents took him to the specialist who basically said he was f-----. He missed four months of school and has to sit in dark silence for most of the days. He's good now, but his memory is severely worse
