    How do we automatically know it's CTE? I know several people who are depressed or have mental issues and they never played football.

    We don't ... I'm just assuming. But its a pretty good guess for someone who played at rod Jones level.

    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.”

    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.

    The people who jumped out of buildings to save themselves from fire on 911 are just as selfish. Suicide is not a selfishness act. To those who commit it, it is the only choice

    Not all circumstances of suicide are the same, too lump them all together is ignorant at best.

    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.
