RIP Kyren Lacy

[Tookalossfellbackcameback]

Even if he only did a year or two...that's a lifetime in football. You can fall off the map with these organizations, you're not training, your reputation is ruined...the weight of losing millions and the almost impossibility of fighting to get in the league he dreamed of being in probably was the darkest cloud he's ever had over him.

But when I cite a 144% rise in Black male suicide the past 10 years where many see leaving the earth as a way out, an actual EPIDEMIC, the CTE thing carries just as much weight, right?

What if I told you that the two factors aren’t mutually exclusive. Stay with me now

 

[SubZeroDegrees]

Wrong.

1) Kyren Lacy was the age of a 3-4 year NFL vet.

2) Everyone’s exposure isn’t the same. Singular events can accelerate issues ie Antonio brown the Burfict hit

3) There is significant case study of guys displaying erratic behavior that young. Titus Young immediately comes to mind. Extreme crash out by year 2, age 23. Google him

Demetrius Underwood—-who my cousin played with and I personally saw was unhinged—-and Aldon Smith also come to mind

With all that said I DONT think this is a cte case bc of the documented story, but to call dude out like he’s “careless” nah fukk outta here it’s a valid thought

Please tell me what erratic episode Lacy had prior to his death?


What we know he killed somebody in a hit and run. That's not an erratic episode. This happens often.

I see cases where folks on suicide watch because of it.

Yall throwing CTE too freely when you admit it that wasn't the case.

Chris Henry had it at 26.5

Researchers: WR Henry died with brain damage

Chris Henry, the late Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver, had chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) at the time of his death, according to scientists at the Brain Injury Research Institute.

End discussion. It is POSSIBLE cte played a part. You don’t even have to belief it did, but it is absolutely possible. The end

Show me data where football players aged 25 are committing suicide more than the national average.

What it comes down to is that you are more likely aware about CTE than you are about the rash of young Black men committing suicide epidemic in this country.

Even a former social worker in here wont change your mind.

Between 2007 and 2020, the suicide rate among Black men has increased by 144%. And dude is here citing CTE?

had no idea about this stat yikes that is bad.

Its scary breh. Absolutely terrifying. Half these so called pro black posters in here wont even admit they dont know this. Its a growing epidemic that isnt nearly discussed enough but niqqas want to cite CTE? My boy homie just lost a 12 year old son to suicide last week.

Terrible, geez

Terrible, geez

Young Black boys and men are lacking coping mechanisms today. Niqqas in here would rather talk the CTE they do know than the growing suicide epidemic they dont know shyt about.

we are failing too many of our young folk in our society, shyt is legit infuriating to watch and many of the adults are too apathetic or stuck in dumb old tropes of "masculinity" thinking to feel any empathy towards these kids.

As therapy in the black community has risen , so has black male suicide

^ 2022.

‘Black men dont cry enough…black men don’t share their feelings ….black men need therapy ’. They got men questioning what they even are. If you strip away your virility and confidence of course you’ll be ‘depressed’ . Bc now you’re malleable

Why do you think so many women are nutcases and generally are the ones who worry and have self esteem issues ? Bc they’re easily malleable. Men are now becoming easily malleable. Therapy is more accepted than ever yet ‘mental health’ and black male suicide rates are higher than ever.

what’s your solution to suicide rates going up? Ban razors? Eliminate rope?

Large scale problems are fixed by addressing root causes.

All black men need therapy!’ has been a thing in recent years. We (y’all) are listening and going, yet suicide rates are thru the roof

Kids in elementary school being taught about mental health and even put in therapy for small shyt…youth suicide thru the roof

You start validating everyone’s inner fears its a very tangled web.

This would be a good time for you to shut the fukk up

 

[The ADD]

Yeah, very possible he had CTE but there is a much bigger issue. Ive been in tough situations that felt like you were being suffocated. Not nearly as bad as what I imagine a lot of these young kids are facing but it would have been worse if I didn’t have a support system.

Thanks for shedding light on this. I wasn’t aware.

Young Black boys and men are lacking coping mechanisms today. Niqqas in here would rather talk the CTE they do know than the growing suicide epidemic they dont know shyt about.

RIP to this young man.

And RIP to the old man who died as a result of his actions.

Such a heavy burden to carry.
Rest up to both of them

Please tell me what erratic episode Lacy had prior to his death?
