For those who don’t know the context, many athletes, especially American Football players, have donated their brains to CTE research.
It actually seems like a good opportunity. A lot could be learned about brain damage.
And a lot has been learned because of those willing donors so far!
OJ seem like he’d be a gold mine.
i’d sure like to know
Aaron Hernandez, the former NFL star infamous for multiple murders, had his brain looked at. He had extensive CTE
oh, i know. as have the brains of many former football players who’ve since died and had their brains sliced and examined for CTE.
this is why i’d like to know about OJ’s brain. his could be one of the oldest confirmed cases.
Oh duh, sorry I misread what you meant
np
When Junior Seau committed suicide, he specifically shot himself in the heart so as to preserve his brain for research, right?
Yup. Fucked up
There’s no way he didn’t have CTE, pretty much every pro would, especially back then.
The closest they can come to redeeming him would have been showing he wasn’t always like this
I just kept picturing that scene in Naked Gun where he’s constantly getting smacked on the head.
“Fifty to 80% of people in the criminal justice system have a TBI.”
And Roger Goodell breathes the world’s biggest sigh of relief.
What purpose would it serve?
Scientific research on the effects of TBI and criminality
I mean, it’s in the first paragraph of the article, plus I made a comment explaining it lol
Gotcha
