I know he killed himself; I know there are a lot of head injuries in the NFL.
What I don’t know is what seems to be the presupposition in this article: “Head injuries make you suicidal.”
Has this ever been proven?
I was down at my parents yesterday. They live in Oceanside. My mom told me their neighbors, who, I’ve known for years, were cousins of Seau.
I never knew that. My mom, now tells me me, oh yea, Junior was there all the time. OK, mom, I’m not a huge Charger fan, but...well their neighbors really good people.
They are Samoan, big people, with hearts as big as their hands.
I saw them and offered my condolences. They thanked me, and offered me a beer (as they always do).
Guy had issues. NFL, leave it at that.
No. It has not been proven. Think of all the ex players who have endured brain injuries and are living normal lives. They far outnumber the suicidal ex players, but no one thinks about them because they don't make the papers.
This is mostly just another media-driven hysteria.
