Aaron Hernandez was found to have a severe form of CTE - Skip and Shannon react | UNDISPUTED 

osvaldo madrid gotdam for real. almost shed a tear. watching Chris Carter talk about Hernandez and CTE was hard too...

C. Richardson yeah CC made a great speech on First Things First today. If you see this comment and haven't watched it go watch it. Pretty touching.

Go listen to Chris Carters speech. He had tears in his eyes, and put a tear in Nick Wrights eye. It was very deep and emotional

I feel like TEs aren't in that much danger. It's mostly centers, linebackers, DLs. People usually go low on TEs like Gronk.

Stephen B. Smith Hernandez was a TE

Nightmare Nightmare not really just high school and college combined. He probably had cte then as well

ReturnoftheBrotha they do. He just couldnt control the anger it gave him.

Oh please the study was done by Boston University I feel like there might be some bias there.

I dont believe the CTE bit, MDMA makes your brain look worse who knows what kind of drugs Hernande was taking

ReturnoftheBrotha you can't tell if someone has it until they're deceased. So far everyone they've tested for has had it 100%

KERUPT KILLER he was also in debt with casinos as was reported so that might have made his depression worse 😞

glad you mentioned him because his suicide was shocking. it isn’t only football that contributes to cte. hernandez’s dad was very abusive and who knows how many times he was knocked in the head, slammed against wall, floor or headfirst into things. those things during the developmental stage could have been bigger factors than football. i dont know why his physically abusive upbringing isn’t factored in to this?

Same can be said with Chris Benoit. He was a well loved guy. He had a bad severe case of CTE. When his friend Eddie Guerrero died he lost it . Killed his wife and son, then hung himself.

HE SHOT HIMSELF IN THE CHEST SO HIS BRAIN COULD BE STUDIED

Broadstreet Flyers95 Chris Benoit Murdered his Family

yeah hearing shannon's response vs hearing stephen A earlier was like night and day

Factsssssss

U FORGOT BRONSEXUAL

Hahaha. You must not get out much.

@@kaine969 shut the f up

Lets hope he stays that way he is a great ambassador for football

50 but looks 39

I'm 21 and he looks younger then me

Makeup

🤣🤣🤣

*_SKIIIEEEEEUP!!!_* 😂😂😂

East Sultan Stawwwwp ittttt skeeeeeeeupppp

East Sultan dude can barely speak English

Well, JOY is why im here, Take this L East Sultan

Shannon the logical one of the two

This

Nope he has EGS "El Ghetto Syndrome "

Guy was knocked out by a NFL linebacker, how worse can it get there. most likely got CTE

George Forbes half the league is from the ghetto none of them act like AB, idiot.

Vontaze Burfict hit on AB probably started it all ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-o8iFSP_S5h8.html

You should educate his level of CTE. Imagine if your brain is only working at 50%, how many problems you would have

@@mike536 give me a break

mike skinner u don’t understand brain damage dude

Ditto for AB

CTE caused most of his problems

Tic Spann he’s not down playing it; he’s merely stating facts. Aaron was thuggin a long time, and more importantly, CTE doesn’t create a murderer. Why is everyone showing sympathy for him instead of the two innocent people he killed!

Jason R. Thuggish behavior or sociopath (a mental illness) tendencies confounded by CTE?

Tic Spann EXACTLY! How many people have to die before people realize that!?

CTE CAN make a murderer, man.

Shannon will always tell the truth. How’s he down playing it he says the nfl needs to stop denying and he doesn’t know if he is the baseline.

Ocbac Shabass yeah no one is blaming CTE for his crimes.

No one blames CTE but his brain is like the size of a joystick

Exactly

It's your decision to play football CTE is a danger when you play any contact sport NFL is in no way liable

truth

True, watching football is just like watching the MMA.

The human body is not designed to play majority of professional sports in this era. The games have made too much advancement, and is constantly demanding more. Baseball... hurlers throwing 160km/h fastballs. Basketball... these guys are jumping 40 inches off the floor... Football... players are going full speed, body-checking each other.

Yes. Which is why the cases of CTE that we know about end in tragedy.

That's what I say

There is so much to learn about CTE effects. It is disturbing to find commentators with such a great forum speak against a player diagnosed with a severe form of CTE and still not remain objective while more research is founded. Too bad that we, collectively, lack the ability to be patient and guiding our audience to remain patient while conclusive studies can breakdown the behavioral effects of CTE. This, like many new discoveries, take decades to complied enough subjects to deduce accurate diagnosis on the living based on collected data.

CTE is a weapon. Do not judge a person who’s shoes you have never walked in. This disease doesn’t discriminate, nor should you!!

The judgement by other football players is disrespectful and disgusting. You might be facing the disease, and when you pass, you will be judged as well. There’s no respect in continuing the pain that all of these families are living with. No one taking jabs at Aaron is any better for doing so!

EXACTLY!!!! The patriots are a racist white led team that exploits us minorities to win. Its outright despicable

@@joe-tatothepotatobiden47 😒

@@joe-tatothepotatobiden47 dude? wtf are you on?

@@schopenhauer7278 Im just speaking the truth. You aint woke enough to understand smh.

Cari was annoying asf lol just my opinion.

Truth

If that were the case all of the boxers and soccer players would be dead.

Cher P Have you seen the condition most boxers are in after they retire? And are you suggesting soccer players take the same kinds of hits to the head as Football players and boxers?

Cher P What body part functions the same after prolonged, repeated, injury?

Jimmy Early that is exactly what he's saying. CTE= CHRONIC TRAUMATIC ENCEPALOPATHY .. which means chronic trauma causing brain disease. Its settled science that repeated trauma to the head leads to brain injury ( no one in the medical community is arguing that). The arugment is if playing sports at an early age increases the risk of that.

Hmmm. We are not talking about the condition of most boxers. We are talking about CTE and the relationship to blows to the head. CTE would not discriminate against blows to the head from any sport. So, my point is boxers with all their sparring and they get far more blows to the head via a professional boxers "killer punches". So to me, if CTE were caused exclusively by blows to the head then boxers would be DEAD!!! All of them. I mean it is brutal! Even looking at women boxers it looks brutal!. So how do you justify someone like Hernandez with what science classifies as a 60 year old CTE case for someone who was out of football at 25ish. Just saying. Something doesnt quite add up. By comparison, I could see if a young boxer had CTE of a 60 year old. There is something that is becoming a "jump" to conclusion here that is absolutely wrong. People today aren't very well trained in cause and effect analysis. And this Hernandez finding is absolutely a red flag that something is amiss. Anyone who takes hits to the head should experience some sort of CTE if blows to the head is what causes CTE. Perhaps its bad thinking as well. I mean everyone knows that people who get stressed out experience damage to their physical body. So, why could not evil or stressful thinking cause CTE? I assure you they haven't checked for it. They would have no one to sue or ask for money to fund their research. Let me tell you something. In America, ALWAYS FOLLOW THE MONEY. If people are not already greedy, the minute they start making money they quickly become greedy. CTE and its research is very much going to become about the money. Sorry, but that is the way it is.

Juan carlos Wow I didn't know that you learn something new everyday

Almon Joseph nov.14, 1994, patriots vs vikings, bledsoe went 45-70, not one running play in 2nd half, tied, ot...kevin turner catches game winning td, now google: kevin turner cte... RIP

The only person that knows you have CTE is the pathologist

i got suicide thoughts and depressions completely without CTE. whats the point? he had it before any head injuries, he was agressive way before he played NFL. dont blame the patriots for what he done. everyone knows contact sports are fkin dangerous to your body and the brain/head is one of the most fragile areas. but only in america you can sue others for your own damn stupidity and uneducated brain for millions.

Almon Joseph facts

Idt he downplaying CTE jus not letting it be the reason or excuse for him being a murderer which is fair

@@michaelshelton7196 I get that, but thats his opinion based on what he thinks...not science. It's pretty much impossible to observe all the detrimental effects of CTE because everyone's brain is individual and you can't compare 2 of the same brain with and without CTE. Who knows if he would have murdered someone if he had never played football. I'm not excusing him as there are obviously murderers who don't have CTE. I'm just saying speaking like its fact, when you aren't even remotely an expert can be damaging. That being said I would never make a comment on it. We know more about the bottom of the ocean and space than we do the human brain.

​@@m2929"trust the experts" "the experts know next to nothing about the human brain"

@@WOWWOW-hk1tb next to nothing is still a considerably lot more than a lay-person. A quick analogy for you. I have 2$ in the bank. an expert has 500000$ in the bank. The bank contains 294923764128962984623978423189476292309472097209427052750972309572305723059238162982136982368931269823164931269516$. The expert has next to nothing when compared to the bank. but a lot more compared to me. hopefully you might understand now

Imagine knowing that you're doing the wrong thing that you're making a wrong choice and still not being able to stop yourself from doing it that is the impulse part of the brain the frontal lobe that was super traumatized on his brain and that's just one of the things that was wrong with it Now he did some f***** up s*** and he deserved it being imprisoned for that but there's a lot of extenuating circumstances We should not ignore them because of our personal beliefs or built in bias

Great movie

LOL! Aww man.. LOL!

How are you 50/50 it was obvious he killed those people

After watching that I know have SUV

Bryan Bruner yep

I know, it's so obvious but according to that guy, it was only the 40 NFL games that came into play 🙄

jugadug Doesn't excuse, but severe brain-damage may explain his actions.

Maybe it contributed to the suicide, but may not be the whole story.

It was his upbringing as well, terrible mother and father, bad influences all around him

DICKRIDIN HATER true. But he also played football before the NFL so 😕 But I can't really give Aaron a pass. Maybe all that football and his criminal mind played a huge part of his decisions

Sean Tyson yeah family man and a professional football player who was a criminal throughout his entire life.

DICKRIDIN HATER u have a point my bro. But you still didn't know him personally. U knew him from the media. So it's not wise to say u knew him personally. That's false information.

Kendall Stevens you just delusional. He was drafted in the 3rd round bc of his off the field issues he had at Florida. Pats took and a chance on him and it back fired.

Dre Day I mean I can understand how some of you fans get emotionally attached to players whom y'all never met. That's the definition of a fan. Alot of fans get emotionally involved to players they've never met. They either Love The player or hate the player. It's funny to me. Alot of fans would chop off there arm to meet some of these players. I think it's crazy. It reminds me of that movie the fan.... With Wesley Snipes as Robert de Niro lol

Manu Ginobilis Bald Spot Certainly murdered? Glove didn't fit

You can't say correlation is not causation on this because we don't know the full effects of CTE yet. Or how it possibly effects other mental problems someone may have. But the fact that's it's a common factor amongst these different people and situations points towards it playing more than a small role

Breaking news Opinion is not fact!!!

Of course they are connected and drugs trigger more

Chris Beniot.

Phenom504 He was also taking steroids.

Phenom504 He suffered from Roid rage...

ATLsF1N3ST91 no it was proven thru autopsy that benoit also had cte. He had the brain of a 80 year old in his 30s.

Yeahbut he had a host of other problems

If he was he would be screaming "SKIEEEEP" 24/7

Alex Kroll no one is.

His brain was damaged and that had nothing to do with it? Your brain controls every choice you make, of course brain damage can cause you to do things you normally wouldn't.

SNAPTHEBEAST but he was already like this in college. Cte had nothing to do with it. At all.

Alex Kroll Does anyone know why he killed oden loyd??

SNAPTHEBEAST dude. He already had gang ties as a teen

LiL Spook You're right. We should examine him and take precautions in regards to our young ones. However, we shouldn't glorify Hernandez in any capacity.

LiL Spook I agree. Kids shouldn't have to subject themselves to such danger. Thank goodness things are being changed, so we can try to curb the chances of them developing this illness.

Agreed. The guy was messed up long before the NFL. He's a cold hearted killer simple as that. I hate the Pats but its just sad seeing this considering they gave him every chance to get clean and all he did was lie.

Charles_Kula He had a lot of potential too. He squandered his future away just to be a lowlife gangster.

as Shannon said assumption of risk my father told me the risk of football and i stilled played

He was a terrible person

TheGreatWhiteMexican yes he was but he's dead now

snunja I'm with you 100%

I feel the same way bro. Such a shame he threw that talent away

Daniel Ogbuigwe That comment sums it up!! Good one buddy!!!

LITTLE The number of parents not allowing their children to play football is staggering, and they say this will only perpetuate with time.

Matthew Alexander Lemma You're right. Plus, they are abandoning their base (conservative white men) that actually pay for tickets, food and drink, cable packages, merchandise, etc. Add on top of it the issues with CTE... the sport is doomed.

I think it will still be around but there will be more rules on hits probably

OJ Simpson Gosh, I never even considered that, and you're 100% right!

Cmon now, combat sports have been showing this damage for 30 years now. Football will change, but it won't go away. Look at the NBA, it just changes to be less physical. They'll try two hand touch with robot avatars before giving up making that jack.

mike Ru your brain affects your emotions fam

Isaiah Ray still doesnt give him a pass

His family (no BABY MOMMA) IS looking for the payday Hernandez gave up by his crime!!!!

Trevor P I agree

Trevor P Its not the children getting concussions, it's the big kids and adults. Imo, not allowing children under 13 to play football will do nothing to prevent CTE because they're not big, fast and strong enough yet to create big collisions.

there is a reason you never saw KINGS playing football

Grown men in rights fighting for a ball....hahahaha

Jimmy Brashear rights ??

He has a point and wants to 🐝 heard & he has passion.

I have.

He was never in a gang.

Do you know Hernandez personally or do you know him through the media? People like to talk about rumors vs what they actually know

#EastAtlantaZ6 I knew it! CTE was his brain being FRIED from all that Angel Dust!

Yes you have to be dead to prove but you can defend on the presumption of CTE and still convince a judge to have leniency and may even be able to plead insanity.

Because he was exhibiting criminal and violent behavior before CTE

The man was 23..

​@@nicolaslatorre81027 with the worst case of cte ever seen at someone his age

Well Shannon and Aaron are completely different so

Of course it did, he had a giant hole in the middle of his brain.
