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.

@codacreator6162

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.

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.

Amazing! Thanks for sharing Cris. 🙏🏼

Powerful, confessional, gritty, and spoken from the heart.

That was very heartfelt and sincere by Cris Carter. I played football and the game taught me a lot as well. I’d advocate for children too but only in in a safe manner

Wow, this was deep.

Veeeeeery touching

I'm hispanic, so I can't say I undertand 100% his experience, but I feel his passion and where he is comming from

Humbling and soo Real

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.

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".

These has some deep meaning thanks,

Love it when people speak from the heart...

If everyone was this passionate about something, the world would be a better place. CC is a great man and I am so thankful to be able to hear such powerful words from such a great man.

"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.

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

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.

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.

This show has been a pleasant surprise

One of the realest Chris carter!!💯#so much respect.

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.

Look at the makeup of most NFL players. A lot of inner-city blacks, American Samoans and rural whites. With internet/WIFI spreading and free education platforms, opportunities are becoming easier

Wow!! this is amazing. This needs to be played at the rookie symposium.

My hat is off to you Mr. Chris Carter. Although, I only played football my 8th grade year because my addictions of drugs and alcohol started then. I can honestly say that I regret those addictions because it has robbed me from a bright future like the family found in football. I know you can relate to that and I appreciate you. Your a survivor and an inspiration to me. May God bless you man.

How could anyone give this a thumbs down. That was an amazing display of passion

Much respect C.C

CC is a very powerful speaker. My favorite analyst.

Respect. for keeping it real. salute

Honest. Intense. Thanks Chris

cc is as real as it gets this made me cry

powerful speech CC

This is top tier first things first. Never been better than this moment.

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”).
