        But doesn't it impair judgement and cause anger issues? Not excusing it, but someone might use it as a defense one day

        yes but being in a gang and shooting someone are different. I'm just saying, dude might have a case. CTE is terrifying

        True. My point is he was making bad decisions before possibility of CTE. But it's hard to identify when he got,it to your point

        Oh yeah. But I believe the science says even high schoolers can get it. But it's still so new, I think it's to his family's advantage

        Thanks to the NFL which permanently damaged his brain and ruined all cognitive functions severely.

        He didn't play that many years and wasn't like a RB taking hits to the head every play. Does every NFL RB going to get CTE. Scary

        Are you just counting his NFL career? CTE starts accumulating as soon as a player starts playing--Pop Warner, high school..

        Of course but he retired young for NFL. What about Emmitt Smith, Eric Rhett, W Dunn,Ricky Williams

        My understanding is that currently definitive diagnosis of CTE can only be done post-mortem. So any/all those folks could have it.

        CTE symptoms manifest themselves to varying degrees during lifetime though. Some people can hide it. But there's a reason some of these

        guys leave suicide notes asking their brains be examined by neurologists. I think it's why Junior Seau shot himself in the heart, not head

        You are right. Seau was young and such a great player and a super individual too. The NFL needs to take this much more seriously
