Minnesota Vikings DE Everson Griffen possibly going through early CTE

[thashiek]

This is a bit of a misleading post. Hernandez was 27 when he died and it's rare that 27 year olds get their brains checked for CTE.
That being said I'm not surprised he had it, but it's a bit heavy handed to try and throw in the implication that CTE was responsible for his behavior.

To be fair, he did say documented case. Very well could have been many others who have had it infinitely worse than Hernandez, we just don't know.

And from what we have seen from other suicide cases that had CTE, its not all that far fetched to believe head trauma (possibly before even football, maybe fighting and getting knocked out initially caused it) was the reason for his aggressive nature. Not absolving of course but, trying to be more objective.

Hoping Griffen isn't truly already suffering from this shyt though.

I trespassed twice in one week,arrested twice and I legit thought God told me to...

I've told that story on here before....

Breh might be going through a manic episode or he has done acid recently.

This type of stuff happens with average citizens on a daily basis, but as soon as it happens to a football player, people want to blame it on CTE.

i think we should have a rule where you don't post a black football player and their family unless it's something shocking like it being black.

Coli doctors still trying to guess what CTE even is.
"It doesn't seem like CTE but a mental health issue "

What's the difference :RussellMartBrook:

This sounds like more than just some CTE shyt. We getting way too comfortable just chalking every football player's downfalls up on CTE. Oh Hernandez was out here killing people? CTE! Griffen jumping out of ambulances? CTE!

Not saying these dudes aren't being affected by CTE, but some of the shyt feels deeper. Like in this case, dude definitely seems to suffer from mental health issues. I saw drug play was RUMORED to possibly be involved too...playing a brutal sport like football, it wouldn't surprise me if drugs is playing a part in this as well.

probably a combo of both painkilling drugs and CTE. Horrible mix.
