This could be the last interview with NFL great Junior Seau. Two days before he was found with a self-inflicted gunshot wound, Seau played in a charity golf tournament.
@@kamfisher1714 Imagine not realizing that in CERTAIN CULTURES THAT FAMILY OBLIGATIONS are deep rooted. You post makes me know that you're a white male. Arrogant, uniformed, and dumb to other cultures.
Rest easy man. Forever a childhood hero- a superhero in my eyes haha. Such a kind man who did nothing but support and spread happiness in his community.
Many people never show the "classic" signs of pending suicide. True in my own family. Sad so very sad. Lives that hold such promise yet there are deep deep issues that even those close to those with suicide on the mind could never know. This young man may well have suffered from head injuries. So very sad....my sympathies with his fans, friends and family.
Please seek help if you are concerned about having CTE. The medical community is better understanding the implications of head trauma. Suicide isn't the answer. I started my own journey after Jr's suicide. Please start your own and seek help and support... Sam
Headaches, memory issues, anger, relationship problems, suicidal thoughts can all be attributed to the need to seek help. Please don't quit before starting your journey to your own support.
Just as the Dominican Republic is "Baseball Island" Samoa is "Football Island" with Many NFL players (typically Defensive Linemen and Linebackers) coming from there. Another Tragedy is that African Americans, Latinos and Polynesians who have even a little athletic talent will try to make it THAT way, to the Detriment of their academic education.
Alofa braddah i know you up there playing your ukulele looking down on your loved ones GOD BE WITH U SON AN FATHER.Gone to soon he was one bad ass soman football player.Samoan warrior on the field.
My sport is Road cycling, we have a helmet too and we do impact ground once a while, though most of the time helmet didn't hit anything. The NFL seems quite lagging in helmet design, the finding of CTE came to NFL around the year 2002 while the newly updated helmet didn't come to live till 2017. That is enough to raise a young boy into a college team. Before 2014, cycling helmet are usually with just one single structure, but with concussion remains possible even without collapsing structures of the helmets continues, MIPS technology eventually come to play at 2016 and that reduced the risk of injury of similar kind from then. No sports was invented to hurt people, but if not done correctly or in contact sports the protection gear was designed up to date it will certainly injury players and if worse kill them eventually.
@@samuelmorales2344 ...and, protecting against the latter, DID save Many lives. The Zero Helmet, along with external padding, will hopefully reduce the impact a little. Also, with both football and boxing, pugilistic/collision sports before age Sixteen is Strongly linked to CTE. In the Boston study: 99% of NFL brains were affected. 90% of the NCAAF also had the Disease, making it look like years in the League were irrelevant. Most were already Doomed, however, by the time they got drafted. Five 1989 College Linebackers who played on a single West Coast team, are already Dead...several from Suicide. And, perhaps as many as 20% of High School players get it(!)
