I’m here to watch this again after Aaron’s documentary and man knowing the depth of his story really strikes a cord with me during Chris’ speech here . This has to be the realist segment I’ve ever watched

@codacreator6162 4 года назад

What I found most telling about that documentary was the end when Aaron's friend laid it all back on the man, that he made his own decisions. It's troubling to me that despite the evidence of a physical abnormality, he couldn't coomprehend that Aaron didn't have the capacity to be anything but what he became. Given a choice, I'll never believe that a healthy Aaron Hernandez would have chosen to self-destruct and take so many people with him. Never. CTE had to have begun while he was in Florida and progressed to the point that t finally killed him. It's tragic. But, like cancer, I don't think that everyone who plays will suffer from CTE anymore than not everyone that smokes dies of lung cancer. There must be other factors inherent in the individual that make them more or less susceptible to it. Just my thoughts. I have no particular expertise in this area, but it doesn't sound like a whole lot of others do, either.

"In America what other choice does a block man have" These are DANGEROUS words from a television figure who is being viewed by maybe millions of black kids. What other choice do you have? How about a Doctor (My main physician is a black man who grew up in poverty), an Engineer (One of the best Engineers at my college was a black man), a lawyer (plenty of respected black lawyers all over the country), a Congressmen or even the President of the United States of America. The black race will never achieve prosperity as a whole if their frame of mind is that of CC. The only thing that can truly hold one back in America is himself.

Black men are not just limited to playing sports. You sound like someone who was born in 1865. We are doctors, we are lawyers, we are writers, we are actors, we are politians, we are teachers, we are CEOs, and we have been President of these United States. I applaud what football means to you, but keep it in perspective. Realistically, football employs just a fraction of the population.

@pmh1nic 6 лет назад

Everett Jackson I think for CC, having grown up in the projects, the perception for him was that the only real opportunity was sports. Yes, there are many more opportunities for people of color but in some cases that reality isn't so readily apparent. I don't think it's the only option for his son, so his son's motivation to play football probably differs from his in that respect.

@YoungDen 6 лет назад

It seems that is all he knew because at 7 years old he lied about his age to play football. So it seems he wanted to be like his older brothers and follow in there for steps. If his older brothers wanted to be build science projects and said " hey Chris can you hand me that ' _inverter_ ' for this battery" I believe he would be inclined to know what will come of this project his brother is working on.

@JenJHayden 6 лет назад

pmh1nic what you said and what cc said are totally different. you are speaking of his past and his upbringing. yes back then that makes sense. but in 2018 that bullshyt. the problem i have with cc speech is he talked about it as if that was true TODAY. "what other option does a black man have", etc. kids in the projects see the outside world via youtube and other platforms, so this argument is simply used an excuse. cc made it to the nfl. most dont.

This is nuts. Aaron Hernandez had stage 3 CTE (there are 4 stages) at 27 years old after only playing two seasons of college football, 3 NFL seasons, and not having played football in 4 years. He wasn't even the starting Tight End and Doctors compared his brain to a 67 year old man. Doesn't change the fact that he was a murderer but you can't totally separate someone's habits and choices from their decaying brain.

The dynamic between him an Nick were better than they are now. Nick being the lead does not play as well, to be kind. CC always kept it real one way or the other. This segment is case and point of that. He added a depth Nick lacks at this point of his career.

@ssbn401 6 лет назад

I was a little surprised at first to hear Carter talk about there being no other options for black men, but when you think about the situation, it makes sense for where he's coming from. Obviously, there are other options for black men, but when you live in the projects often those options are so far away and so farfetched that there's almost no point mentioning them. Not every black man lives in the projects or in highly urban areas, but lots do and can attest to Carter's experience. By the way, it's as much about poverty as it is about race - poor white people (for whom rural areas are often their equivalent of the inner city) encounter much the same thing. Athletics is one of the very few, real avenues to an education and improving your life, even if you don't go to play professionally. It's sad, and the sooner that systematic poverty and negative connotations surrounding some professions in minority communities are addressed, the better.

CC you’re incredible! I can very much relate to your story because I’m that kid that didn’t have options. I tried sports and I wasn’t the best but I found Circus. I took that and it led me to a life where I travel the world with Cirque du Soleil. Powerful words brother, I really felt that.

@JayB2 Год назад

Cirque du Soleil, WOW! that's very tough to be good enough for that group. Iv been lucky enough to see 2 of their live shows in Las Vegas.Every single performer was like an athletic freak. One of the shows I saw was "Zumanity".

Even though I empathize with CC and understand everything he says…...I am an african man born in middle class america and I had plenty of other options. I don't like this narrative that all black people are from the hood and we only have sports as an outlet to be successful. I not only played sports when I was a kid I also went to tech camp where we learned to code and build robots, math camp where we used numbers to solve just about EVERYTHING. Sports was not the only focus when I was growing up. The black american community chooses to only focus on sports.

@KingJagan 6 лет назад

"What other choice does a black man have?" How about building your own brand or business? Maybe we need to push our black youth into STEM and law firms. This is the type of thinking that holds black men back. The thinking of we can't do anything else besides play sports, be musicians, or be entertainers. I understand the point of his speech, I'm just addressing this part. My $0.02. edit: Stop playing the game of absolutes. Some people in this thread think that I'm saying black people can only be in stem, law, or an athlete. You know that is not what I'm saying, but otherwise good responses in here.

@chillpanda1819 6 лет назад

How many schools in our districts have STEM ? Building a brand isn't that easy they don't have that class in school. hell they took social studies away. also black ppl only spend money in other communities unless it's a person already successful such as a rapper or a sports figure. Until we fix what and how we teach and also educate ourselves sports is one of the best options for a black man with athletic ability

@70BTHS 6 лет назад

If every African-American athlete across all sports dropped what they are doing right now, even with all their influence, how many brands would net them the same revenue that playing a major sport would? Mathmatically and economically everyone cannot start and maintain a successful brand or their own business, and while Stem and other high-paying jobs are nice, James Harden just signed a super max deal that will make him more in one year than even the average lawyer will make in a lifetime. In short, the image of fortune for the less fortunate will always be significantly more appealing than the image of consistency at a lower rate. It is what it is, unless there is a societal shift.

@liamkelly6181 6 лет назад

The problem is that the world discriminates against black people in all of those professions you just listed, the one things that has no discrimination is sports.

I know the US has its race issues, but when I hear people talking like their country does not have the same or worst issues, that is when I have to call them out. Cuba, Brazil, Columbia, Trinidad are some of the worst.

You’re not guaranteed to get concussions playing football. U have to make sure kids get with the right coaches who will teach them how to tackle and make contact correctly. A lot of concussions come from guys playing reckless (leading with their heads, trying to make a big hit to look “cool”).

@kurtm1785 4 года назад

I felt this one. Played football my whole life into college and played aggressively, using my helmet knowing it hurt me and I'd see stars every game and most practices but thinking if they feel it even just a little it's all worth it. Now I do feel the affects and I wasn't a pro "playing" for another 15 yrs. It's scary stuff and I know I've felt the aftermath and it's changed me, I just know it. Glad they're researching more and I'm curious of how early on it can be detected.

I have multiple head injuries, with my last one being while I was in the military. I am showing signs of this disease. I am so scared. I change into someone else and I go off the rails. I am getting help for this through the VA, but I don't think I can be saved. There isn't even a treatment for this, much less a cure. How long do I have before I go off the rails again and hurt myself?
