Can't see the NFL lasting 50 years, especially if they open every football players brain up
It's genuinely not a brain thing. He keeps posting cte, but that's not it. He didn't reply to my post for a reason.
For me, football was a coping mechanism for all of my problems. If I had a fukked up day I would take it out on someone trying to block me, someone running with the ball, the quarterback. When I actually processed all of my anger I became worse at football.....a lot worse.
To be good at football you need two things:
1. Forsaking yourself and your well-being
2. A depth of anger that's really hard to explain
It's very easy to dismiss it as some sort of disorder because their brain is damaged. Cte is a real thing, but it makes you more of a danger to yourself than other people. All of the violence against other people became a problem as coaches, teams, communities started sweeping wild behavior under the rug.
