    For those who don’t know the context, many athletes, especially American Football players, have donated their brains to CTE research.

        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.

          When Junior Seau committed suicide, he specifically shot himself in the heart so as to preserve his brain for research, right?

    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.
