Haven't watched the video yet but I thought CTE could only be confirmed posthumously ?

Either way, hope breh can lead a peaceful life from here on out now that he believes he has it.
Yeah it can only be confirmed posthumously, but you can show signs and symptoms prior to death. So frequent headaches, sensitivity to light, memory loss, inability to control your emotions - those may signal CTE.

That shyt is sad.

I know a girl whos pops played on the 98 falcons, the super bowl team.

I been to their house many a time, and It was very easy to tell football fukked him up a bit, he was forgetting shyt and had to take painkillers everyday.

Football is truly some dangerous shyt. That is why I will never be mad at a breh trying to make the most money they can playing that shyt

Right, that is what I was aware of as well. However it did make me think, those symptoms can be attributed to many diseases or other worldly causes that have nothing to do with CTE. So I was curious if we have broken some new ground in understanding the brain somehow. I guess it's moreso what I initially thought, Sapp is taking the the word or misrepresenting the word of a respected neurologist.

EDIT: I should say, taking and parroting the word of or misrepresenting the word of....

Yeh, but if you ain't healthy whats the point? That shyt don't mean nothing when you 6' under.

A quarter of that finna go to doctors and nurses to keep him living a somewhat normal life.

CTE is real.

@ReadOneBookAWeek Smh if you wanna increase the love you could've repped a nikka instead of the neg :friedgrin:
It's tough love breh, negs deter similar posts in the future. Look forward to repping you back up soon & vice versa.

Death to negativity in the black community. We are brothers and we must lift eachother up from our lowest points or we are no better than the cacs, and we will never be free.

I've been on the extreme of both sides . I will not hate or hate on my brother to the best of my ability from now on. We're LOSING the war and we're all we got.
