"Junior Seau had 1,500 concussions" - former teammate

[Rocket Scientist]

not at all. he had probably 50 per season. but like one or two that were the falling over looking punch drunk kind. back in the day they'd talk about "mild concussions" but after awhile it was outed that theres no such thing. you are essentially getting concussed every play especially O and D lineman...and guys like Seau or Polamalu probably got like 5 to 10 concussions per game at least.

now if he had 1500 falling over unable to stand concussions he woulda died on the field.


Me. We must never forget Junior Seau breh

Actually i watched 2 docs on concussions and did a search and saw that crazy 1500 figure.

My bad bruh you right

most of yall didnt read the article

"In the 1990s, I did a concussion seminar. They said a Grade 3 concussion meant you were knocked out, and a Grade 1 meant you were seeing stars after a hit, which made me burst out in laughter," Plummer told the San Jose Mercury News. "As a middle linebacker in the NFL, if you don't have five of these (Grade 1 effects) each game, you were inactive the next game.

"Junior played for 20 years. That's five concussions a game, easily. How many in his career then? That's over 1,500 concussions. I know that's startling, but I know it's true. I had over 1,000 in my 15 years. I felt the effects of it. I felt depression going on throughout my divorce. Junior went through it with his divorce."

Isn't that normal during a divorce? I know there are other major symptoms but yeah...

have you seen Head Games or Leage of Denial? They really put the symptoms into perspective. Its way deeper than "depression"...its like hearing voices & shyt. unable to piece your thoughts together.

Mike Webster was doing an interview and he was all over the place.. He couldnt even form an entire sentence without getting completely lost and forgetting what he was saying. He was using a stun gun to get to sleep.

Troy Aikman got his head rocked so bad that he was asking his agent all of these questsions over and over about a game that he played in but had no recollection of and it was the NFC championship

There is really some disgusting shyt going on in these guys' brains and surprisingly the smallest hits still contribute and all add up. There was a kid who wasnt even in the NFL yet who committed suicide and they found out he had the early stages of CTE...the brain really is no joke at all. it sucks to have all of this info out there because it can really make you hate contact sports and what they stand for(Money over Everything).

seau going out there with no helmet launching into dudes head first 100% of the time wouldnt cause 1500 concussions.

if his entire job was running oklahoma drill and he rocked no hat and faced only app-pros, he still wouldnt

if he ....

edit: HOLY shyt did i just see the thread refresh while i reading it??

I always thought my future son was gonna do all the things on the field that my coaches wouldnt let me do(they looked out for their own, like most coaches)...but now i think i'm gonna hand my son a basketball or baseball bat.

 

[GOATpernick]

i think i had my 1st concussion in 5th grade after a rock fight. i just waited a week or so and let that chit heal. somebody dropped one of those big huge brick rocks on my head. you know the type of joints that take 2 hands to lift & carry.

 

[AyBrehHam Linkin]

I played football in hs but if my son plays sports hes def gonna been a hooper.



Football is my fav sport, but my dad was saying that concussion shyt since i was a youngin, it shortens your lifespan. imagine these gigantic players nowadays bodies n brains in the future

at the end of the day the greatest athlete of all time, Muhammed Ali, is unable to really do anything for his self. the man who could not be stopped, was completely stopped.

If Junior Seau had 1500 concussions, Ali probably had like 10,000.

Yep if any fool doesn't believe in brain damage from contact sports all they need to do is look at videos of Ali today and videos from when he was going.

 

[Wacky D]

Ali has a decease

Michael J Fox has the same disease as Ali and never played contact sports

i understand that he has parkinsons, but i guarantee when he dies if they get access to his brain its gonna have some interesting shyt to look at. the man didnt block punches. he took a car crash to the face every bout.

Ali took a lot of punishment when he got old fighting past his prime

but before he had parkinsons he was in a lot better shape than Evander Holyfield and James Toney who can't even fukking talk straight
