Sorry if I feel a little sympathy for players I grew up watching on Sundays that ended up committing suicide because they were so fricked up in the head, leaving behind fatherless children and widows. Yea, its because they lost all their money.


I have a close friend that did the same. I do feel sympathy. But there is no definitive proof that cte is caused just by head trauma. According to your analogy, all people fricked up in the head have cte. Kurt Cobain must've had cte then. Maybe from the loud music? Again, I have sympathy for anyone struggling with something, but there isn't enough proof of what exactly causes cte

There are players with definitive gross and microscopic changes in brain matter which can, more than likely, be accredited for their symptoms. I never said once that there weren't more possible causes for it and I'm interested to see what the research continues to show.
