Aaron Hernandez Advanced CTE

No surprise here.

Lawyer says Aaron Hernandez had advanced stages of CTE

...hence, why I no longer watch the games.

Yes...THATS What caused him to be a gang banger. THATS what caused him to become an NFL millionaire and still live the thug life. THATS what caused him to murder people. And certainly...THATS what caused him to take his own life. Not life in prison. Not 50-60 years with his prison boyfriend and his little girl on the outside.

CTE.

I'd rather watch bowling than the Browns play.

At least bowlers don't get their brains bashed in so that stupid, fat people can have something to cheer about in their boring, mundane miserable lives. Not to mention, bowlers need to be able to add and stuff instead of just being able to count to ten.

So your position is CTE cannot impair decision making?
 
I don't buy it. Seriously, I think Aaron Hernandez was just a ghetto-minded thug, all too common across this country. Maybe all ghetto-minded thugs suffer from CTE?

Wouldn't surprise me if that head injury didn't happen when the thug robbed his first 7-11 at age 12.

I would believe that before I believe he turned into a murderer because of football.
 
I hope the Hernandez family wins 50 million from the Patriots then the family of the man Hernandez kills sues to take it all from them.
 
This makes 111 positive for CTE out of 112 autopsies of pro-athletes tested.

How about Junior Seau. What caused him to take his life?

No one should get money just because Aaron Hernandez was a ghetto-thug. That's ridiculous.

I hate the Patriots as much as everyone does, but no one should have to pay out just because Aaron Hernandez was a murderer by his thug upbringing.
 
The Man said:
But this case actually makes CTE look like a bunch of BS, if we're using this case in its argument.

He was Stage 3 out of 4. There's no argument. He'd taken hits for a long time. Add that to his personal behavior and mental health issues and it makes it a no brainer.
 
The Man said:
Seau killed himself, he wasn't a serial killer like Hernandez was. Not even close to a valid comparison.

So what he and others did is normal?

His mental health problems were upbringing related, not football related. He tried to bring the hood to the NFL. He failed.

From the OP's link: "A recent study found signs of the disease in 110 of 111 NFL players whose brains were inspected."

No one said what Seau did is normal, or at least I didn't. That was legitimate brain problems.

Hernandez was a gangbanger who happened to make it to the NFL. His football playing had nothing to do with his serial killing.

Mike Webster used to pull out his own teeth and super glue them back in. CTE makes you do crazy stuff
