He was a thug his whole life... his crimes have nothing to do with concussions

Completely disagree. It's not a stretch to say CTE contributed to his mental health and behavior.

Do drugs and alcohol play a role on that?

It looks like there’s more evidence to suggest that CTE can lead to drug & alcohol abuse than the other way around.https://www.thefix.com/content/brain-injuries-athletes-linked-addiction7561 …

Current research shows CTE can start in youth sports. Could have contributed to his life style prior to his time in the NFL.

The guy he murdered? I know.

So? One can mourn more than one victim

Yes, and repeated head trauma causing brain degeneration needs to be addressed in football & stopped

It is being addressed by the NFL. A company called Schutt, Inc. has a new helmet in production. Also...u have a choice to play or not.

Helmets have limited value, as any biker will tell u.As for choice?Most enrolled as kids then offered a few mill as youth, B4 wisdom sets in

A few mill at youth? There's no money on the table until your drafted out of college (whether you come out early or not)

Oh let's be real. The promises can start coming in HS & (to me) college age is still youth. The brain is still developing up to about 25
