What about the threats he made? Or does he get a racial pass on that?
He turned out to be a huge kid, 6'4" and 340 lbs. and got a scholarship to a division III school last year here in Michigan.
After countless headaches, he quit the team after last season citing that he wasn't going to risk CTE playing div. III football and instead was going to focus on school academics..........
My friend was heartbroken since he played semi-pro football back in the 50's but he understood completely.......It just ain't worth it now that more has been discovered about the injury...
Thank you. That is much more informative. And I would agree, he needs help.
Still, CTE? I would slate it as a possibility but not an automatic diagnosis.
Lots of them are. Some, though, are made of better stuff. For instance, a story posted just today:
How the Dutch Destroyer and Carson Wentz helped save Maximus
Some have been linked, post-mortem, to brain damage usually seen in corpses of elderly Alzheimer's diagnosees.
Thanks for your reply
