Gene Merlino was a fullback for Army at the US Military Academy at West Point in the 1980s before a series of concussions cut short his football career and led to an honorable discharge from the Army. Decades later, Merlino, a successful businessman with a wife and three children, has recently begun to lose control of his life to alcohol abuse and recurring thoughts of suicide

My heart hurts watching this because I see my husband suffering every day and I believe he has CTE. It’s horrific watching your spouses go through this and I feel his wife’s pain . Such a heavy burden for athletes and families .

I feel for Gene. I Played in the Big 10 and then MAC in the 80s as well. Medical 'Professionals" Didnt even call it concussions then. It was 'getting your bell rung'. Youd Take a breather and go right back in. I did it many times as a Fullback as well. 70s/80s to me seems the height of toughness, but also stupidty. Prayers for you Gene. Hang in buddy.

Glad I quit football my junior year, after 3-4 concussions I was done, coaches called me weak minded. Thank god I quit

I don't think the hits HAVE to result in a measurable concussion every single time. Just the constant hitting is enough to do damage isn't it?

kayper54 Right you are! Our enourmously large brains have a hundred billion long and delicate axons that cannot tolerate repetitive sudden g-force. if we had evolved to play football we would look like this: jalopnik.com/if-humans-evolved-to-survive-car-crashes-1784037415

Back then people led with the face mask. Unfortunately many times hits were face mask to face mask. This created alot of concussions.

If anyone plays any sport regardless of what it is they should know of the long term effects of the game. I also believe they should get the proper help and compensation for the years of service they put in.
