Absolutely 

 

I am going to donate my brain when I die cuz I am certain I have it after 15 years of playing ball

 

I'm certain..but my short term memory is affected and I'm foggy alot..  but thank God I don't have any of the self-harm thoughts.. and I just pray that everybody going through this goes to the doctor and doesn't do anything drastic 

I’m in my early 40’s, also played from a very young age thru high school. Doing fine, but I would agree, it’s not like I haven’t thought about it a few times. I had 3 concussions, but just the nature of practice back then. How many times would get lined up 5-8 yards apart and just go full steam. That was just normal.

Absolutely... 

 

Three concussions is all it would take.. not counting all the other repeated head banging ... Had four in a short time span in college which ended my football playing but I always rushed back

 

Yeah we would basically call that a braveheart drill now or shark tank or something similar.. it's great for getting used to contact 

 

But there's always ramifications

Don’t know enough about how the studies were conducted to say these things. What are you basing this on? I agree it seems to like everybody has CTE, but it also seems a bit crazy to think the NFL would be held hostage this effectively by a bunch of claims that had zero validity.
