Punching Bag Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 title should clarify that it is the worst ever in a 27 yr old Worst ever known in a 27 yr old gang hood - how many gang hoods get tested for CTE? Just a minor correction but he had Stage 3 CTE, Stage 4 is the most severe. Not sure why she would sue just the NFL, he played college and high school football, surely they are just as responsible. Nice money grab. She should be tested for CTE before she can sue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Punching Bag Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 Forget CTE. His victims should sue the University of Miami. Nice kid goes off to college and two years later he's a hoodlum. For admitting hoodlums to University of Miami? I thought it was a requirement these days. If the violence of the game comes down then interest in it will too, which reduces revenue and in turn reduces player salaries. Which reduces the funds for insurance, retirement, etc. Some day the NFL will declare bankruptcy to get out of these liens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boyst Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 The lawyer representing the Hernandez family is Jose Baez. It starts losing credibility once you remember that's the "person" who defended Casey Anthony.he did his job. Damn good job at that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boyst Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 CTE exacerbates things. When a good guy gets CTE, he starts to get angry, depressed, forgetful, etc. When someone like Hernandez gets CTE, he becomes murderous. control data on this science, please.

Punching Bag Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 This will be the new Bills fan excuse when a Bill gets in trouble. "It's not Marcell's fault he has CTE." or posters.

GoBills808 Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 (edited) control data on this science, please. Unsure about murder, but the relationship between CTE and depression has been pretty conclusively established IMO. That CTE and suicide are related hasn't yet been proven, but depression and suicide are linked. Edited September 22, 2017 by GoBills808 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicken Boo Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 CTE is a copout. This guy murdered at least one person, possibly a few more, with extremely concerning behavior dating back to his late teens. Stop giving this guy press like he's a victim in all this. Being a boxing fan, I've seen this numerous times before where the fighter will kill his spouse, a family member or friend. Hernandez is a special case because he was believed to be a lunatic prior, but these findings cannot be ignored. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bad Things Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 Wasn't he into gangs before he ever entered the NFL? CTE isn't an excuse for him being a murdering scumbag. Exactly what I was thinking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3rdand12 Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 the case should be filed for sure. How valid this specific story is to CTE and other injuries to the brain may be hard to prove out. But i am in the camp that .. it happens. The severity, the consequences are each individual stories. But the volume of these seeming relationships is not to be discounted and better appreciated i hope.Aaron went off the deep end. Wish he had help before. But his suicide shows us Society is not really trying to help these people. Just corral them.The lunatics are on the grass !sad story for AH and everyone who finds themselves in such a horrid state of being. Including all the people who watched this Transpire. I don't want to hear any BS about CTE causing this thug to kill people. Most people don't Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rant_and_go Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 All this cte stuff might end up finishing off the nfl financially before all is said and done. Actually they could make a lot of money. Mandatory retirement after 3 year rookie contract. 5 year option handed out on a limited basis. They could also do things like suspensions for any hit involving the head, or blow the whistle when they are in the grasp, stop taking people to the ground. NFL's already a shell of itself.
