I believe there’s been an increase in young black male suicides over 160% over the last few years or some shyt. I think accelerated during Covid . This shyt is bigger than the league. I’m not sure what the fukk is going on. This shyt is becoming an epidemicBless up.
I wonder if the NFL players & their mental status will be discussed. Seems like things keep getting swept under the rug
I pray for these young Black men today and how they handle challenges
Yep, sure has been. There’s a lot more I want to say but putting it on here absent of tone and intent would start some dumb ass arguments. All I will say is yep, it’s an epidemic but because it’s affecting and impacting who it is, no one will give a fukk. And I say that as someone who’s been going to some form of therapy for close to 20 yrs now. People like to think you can get your mind right within a few visits and claim you’ve “done the work” but real talk, mental health is a lifelong exercise in patience and keen, disciplined self awareness.

But damn he made $12 million in his short career the last 5 years. assuming he managed his money ok he still should have been good for a little while and only 25 no way you should be think it’s over at this stageDude tore his ACL last season too. Prob seen the writing on the wall for his career. Not a lot of 5’8” 180 wrs in the league. RIP regardless

But to your post:
For age-specific shifts before and just after 2019:
- Youth (10–24 years): Suicide rates among Black males aged 10–24 increased markedly from 2018 to 2021 — e.g., an approximate 36.6 % rise reported for this age group over that period.
- Adults (25–44, 45–64): Between 2018 and 2023, rates increased significantly among Black males aged 25–44 (~29 %) and 45–64 (~17 %).
