The brain is not designed to take blows over and over. The inflammation doesn’t show because it’s covered up by the scull. Untreated inflammation will cause problems Anywhere in the body.
RIP future HOF’er
Damn I can only imagine what kind of trauma the players went through who played back in the day without all of the protections gear wise we have today these players sacrifice so much for our entertainment and no one is doing enough to make sure that they have the proper treatment and awareness of just what it is they’re sacrificing.
Never leave your love one alone "sick" to live in a hotel. Take him to a neurologist to at least get a diagnosis with a CT scan.
So sad, he was so young.
The league need to listen to this wonderful! Hyperbaric chamber therapy is what Broadway had and it improved his life. I hope the former players take advantage of this Doctor and Doctors like her to get the help the players need. The league needs to do a better job for the well being of retired and former players.

This interview makes makes her look so suspicious.
My heart breaks for her 🙁 he died alone in a hotel like an addict not like someone with a head injury 😭🤦🏼♀️ prayer

Yeah but you can’t get help from the NFL because they will say your tests are invalid meaning your lying. Take it from me.
Hmmm sacrifice?
Sacrificial lamb?
Who was that? 👆
Please learn to learn everyone…. End ur silly panic. A ma_k caused me to have a bad seizure yesterday.(cuz I have epilepsy. Breathing good and being hydrated prevents seizures) Started laughing after 🤣 but guess what…I didn't go to the hospital. I didn't want them to lie and say cov.. Caused it… Not all of us believe in de__h🎭
RIP Vincent 💐💐💐💐

But y'all worried about a mask and yet have these kids out here playing football!!
Make it make sense
Let’s go Brandon!
Shout out to George Floyd on 571 days of sobriety. It took some tough love but he did it. Say his name liberals!
American Football is a very dangerous sport. Not sure if it’s worth it to play it for the millions and the entertainment. How many more brains do they need to examine to realize the harmful effects of head concussions.
It makes them unlikeable.
USMC Chargers fan thx you 83
So she left him alone when he most needed her.
Beautiful story! Thank you so much for sharing your journey, Mrs. Jackson.
How about cancel the sport and save lives. …Oh no 🙊 and stop the Greediness that everyone works so hard to steel from one another. That would be too purely in the best interest of their health. I will never watch. My old high cancelled football 🏈 and saved a few lives. Every year there were multiple injuries, some life threatening, permanent damage lost at 17… for what? Money?
CNN, MSNBC, ABC NEWS and others Mob channels always hide the true information like Hurt Biden's illegal deals, Don Lemon and Chris cuomo involved in criminal cases and BLM and ANTIFA attacks against business stores and shoppings destroying and stealing and hurt people. Open your eyes Americans, your country will can became one socialist or maybe communist country!
Everybody please take this moment and receive God in your life pray to God everyday for his help in life situations, read the holy bible everyday, believe in God more than you believe in anything else, Trust God more than you trust anyone else, praise God more than you praise anything else, love God more than you love anything else and remember with God help all good things are possible all you have to do is never give up also a great place for you to start in the holy Bible is (Psalms 1) and everyday after that read a chapter in Psalms till you finish all the chapters in Psalms then after that start on (Proverbs 1) then everyday after that read a chapter in Proverbs till you finish all the chapters in Proverbs and after that read every chapter of the Holy Bible until you finish it for it will change your life in the most amazing way
The knowledge is out there,if u play in the NFL you more then likely will develop CTE. It's up to you to decide if the millions are worth it or do you wanna stress out over finances like the rest of us. His NFL career enabled him to take care of his family probably for the rest of their lives. So young …🙏
