I personally know dozens of guys who have had concussions from football but didn't kill themselves or go crazy. In fact decades later they had zero long-lasting effects. None.

I personally know dozens of guys who have recieved concussions from boxing.
Again, none of em went crazy or killed themselves.
Almost every guy who's ever been knocked down in boxing has had some sort of concussion, the only difference is degree.


This latest fad of blaming concussions for mental illness is pure BS and the only good that'll come from it is huge piles O'grant money for anyone ***** enough to see what the gubmint wants them to see.

People sometimes lose it. They sometimes go off the reservation and crack. Sometimes people have deep-seated mental illness that eventually boils to the surface and gets ugly. **it happens.

And others have trouble accepting that. They can't simply say OK, **it happens.
They have to BLAME it on someone or something so their world makes sense.

So it's football's fault now. Bah.
