Antwaan Randle El regrets playing football: has memory loss and can barely walk

[godkiller]

What is your question? The effects of CTE do not affect us all the same. Just like there are some DTs with arthritis of an 80yr old, there are some that are still walking around and playing ball on the weekend.

The absence of CTE in one star qb, is not the evidence of absence of CTE.

As you read this article, just remember that Antwan Randle-el has been dealing with this issue for years, but finally spoke up on the issue. Two days ago, if we were talking about this issue, you would've said "What about Antwan Randle-el? Where are his issues?"

Just because there isn't a new article every single day highlighting the post-career injuries of NFL players, doesn't mean that it's not something they are battling with on a daily basis.

If there are no symptoms in a retired football players related to CTE, then for all intents and purposes said retired player doesn't have it. Like I said, maybe Randle-El just had memory problems because he was dumb in the first place, smoked/drank too much and never did anything to engage his mind outside of football. McElroy probably doesn't really drink, smoke, keeps his mind active, etc. Ryan Fitzpatrick says he does math problems in his spare time. I bet he doesn't have CTE or memory issues. After all math stresses your memory.

It's about taking care of your body and mind not only as a football player but as a human being. Studies say lawyers have lower incidences of Alzheimer's than manual laborers. This is probably because lawyers have more mentally challenging jobs or just may seek more intellectual engagement whereas manual laborers don't have mentally challenging jobs, rarely seek mental challenges and smoke/drink their life away.

Human beings are not made for running at full speeds into each other. .. you don't need research for this

For every one dude that says shyt like this, there are dozens more players doing fine and getting old like everyone else.

People love sensationalism.

retired at like 33 with a few mill in the bank...

ill take the memory loss

health is always more important than wealth....who gives a fucc about money unless you can fully enjoy it....that money is gonna go to his medical bills

I just feel like I hear it and see it all the time...

and I guess the right word to use is frustrated rather than "tired".

for example, they were talking budget cuts for High Schools here. Im all for extracurricular activities, but when they threatened to cut HS football it just rubs me the wrong way when people would say if these guys don't have football they will be in the streets... ya feel me?

And when I was in school (which was a long time ago, so it may be different) most of my friends had no idea about college and most thought if you were not playing sports you were not going to college. But maybe your right and it is different now, or maybe im speaking from a small bubble of my personal experiences. I try to teach my kids different so...

we need to promote martial arts more...and I don't mean UFC style training or anything...but just to teach discipline, mental fortitude, fitness, self-confidence etc.....martial arts helps you in other areas in life....but there's no money in it so it's not as glamorous as football or basketball .....I'm putting my kids in soccer and martial arts

football..its not a safe sport..the human body isnt meant to take blunt force trauma over and over...football, boxing, MMA, even shyt like pro wrestling...BUT these are grown men who made this choice...im pretty most weren't pressured into it...they did it because they loved the sport and the money was good...some gamble and win, some gamble and lose. ..its sad to hear whats going on with antwaan but he made that choice

no wonder why these nikkas be getting concussions...they got them helmets from 1990

Lot of guys still wearing the Pro Air's and old Ridells.
