Are you going to call all of the HH members selfish when they commit mass suicide on the day Savell Smalls commits to Stanford?!?! For those who do it is the only choice.Houhusky said:
Of course the family thinks it was CTE or alcoholism. No one wants to live in a world where their family member just selfishly takes their own life of their own free will leaving behind their kids and wife.minion_doog said:That's a tough one. RIP
They'll find out but he does fit the profile for many reasons
His daughter, Jamie, told the Seattle Times that her father had recently been diagnosed with early-onset dementia. His family believes he had symptoms of chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE). He also had a history of alcohol abuse. The family began making arrangements with the staff at Boston University’s CTE Center to donate Jones’ brain for research.
“He’s been dealing with depression for years,” said daughter Jamie. “I can’t pinpoint exactly when, but he started to notice some memory loss. He just couldn’t remember things.” -

The more football fans turn a blind eye to CTE, the quicker the game will die.

It’s real, but a lot of these guys just have no identity at all other than playing ball. Their whole life was built around it and you can’t play forever.DerekJohnson said:
