And people wonder why mayweather keeps playing defense, and countering he's not trying to get hit in the head

[ianward]

This is actually super frightening to think about. Your brain generates your consciousness and let’s you experience the universe. Imagine working your whole life perfecting your game only to find out that it’s slowly killing your brain.

This must be the shortest most informative video Ive watched..Thank you for sharing this

AB needs help man. This is seriously tragic and he needs treatment.

[Rick-orkq]

So, I am sitting thinking OJ Simpson actions never made any sense to me.. Here was a man that was extemely talented and successful and he just blew up his life.. Could it be that in the end it will be found that he as been suffering from the affects of CTE?

Where are these dislikes from. Probably the NFL and companies that make tons of money from the NFL

[kylemckay]

I wish all videos on diseases and stuff were this short and yet still just as informative.

[DanR]

So many wrestlers seem to have this disease after they die. Chris Benoit is a perfect example, his brain was messed up like crazy from all them diving headbutts he always did for years until one day he snapped and killed his family then himself....

CTE is caused by hundreds and thousands of sub-concussive hits.. atleast that’s what researchers think right now. That’s why it’s commonly in football players. They get thousands of head hits in their years..

[eddievenuto]

It's like getting hit in the head over and over for 10 years. Eventually your brain develops you get anxiety you get nervousness you get social problems you don't want to be around people you become angry. A lot of people that I knew killed themselves because they wanted out of this hard life that they were in. They wanted to face their maker and they wanted to go to a better place a better after life because their life was too hard to deal with. All those guys that had CTE that I'm new or heard of they all committed suicide. I know I would think that I know that most of those guys that committed suicide that had CTE they were tormented with the CTE

[kashkash]

Aren't boxers very common to get cte also ?

[H.K.]

CTE is my number 1 biggest fear. It’s worse than dying in my opinion.

[marceljohnson]

Chris Benoit RIP can only think more tragedies like this will become common place in the coming years

[CASD]

Many are trying to understand after yesterday's AB walk off before we decide to be empathetic or disappointed at him.

[Duskworker]

11 pro fights is the brain damage threshold.
Some people never get it though

[zsxgoqs]

[.daniel]

[kkbmblc]

God did not intend for us to play america American Football

[solidxsnake]
