I have never heard of early onset CTE. As far as I know that is something that occurs years after one ceases to play. Depression could be plausible though.

Its hard to get out of bed in the morning and not kill yourself when you're clinically depressed, I can't imagine how hard it is to play football at such an extreme level

A lot of people with depression self-medicate with weed.

He may have a case of the "I don't want to play for free" anymore

Never seen such certainty over such sketchy and incomplete science.

Well, I’m study of high school, college, and pro players (current and retired), 90% of them all showed signs of CTE. You haven’t heard of cases because no one knows and there’s not a test to specifically pinpoint those symptoms as early onset CTE. I’m 35 and I have it, and I started trying to quit everything and got super depressed my sophomore year of college while I was still playing football.

This is why mental health in this country is so bad.
The average citizen doesn't understand a thing about depression.

When Aaron Hernandez died they autopsied his brain and was said to have the latest stage CTE on record in someone his age.
It is hard to track because they are just now able to do brain scans in living people, but these are still in development and experimental stages.

no wonder we can't elect honest politicions any more.

Aaron Hernandez had one of the most advanced cases of cte ever seen. He was 27

The QB from Washingston State that killed himself had signs of CTE I think.

I can’t help but think there is a woman involved. There is nothing that can frick a man’s head up more than a woman on his arse.

The only way to diagnose CTE is via autopsy, there is currently no way to diagnose it while someone is still alive.

At this point it doesn’t matter. Move on! You guys are way worse than women you complain about.

CTE is not provable unless a subject is dead an an autopsy can be performed. Just because players were showing signs of symptoms we associate with CTE, does NOT mean they are linked to CTE.
Do I think football causes CTE? Absolutely. But at this point, we don't know what all causes CTE. Daily life could cause CTE. Soccer headers, head banging, gymnastics, and a number of other sports where you're moving at high rates of speed and your brain is bouncing around your skull COULD cause CTE.
We are so far away from knowing anything concrete. People get depressed for a lot of reasons, including, but not limited to, CTE. A lot of really irresponsible claims being thrown around in this thread.

I think sometimes we forget that most start playing football in grade school. Over 10-15 years on his body already
