he's been playing football since he was little young kids people get cte when there young and don't know it 90% of people don't know they have it

I remember hearing about a case where an 18 year old man had CTE from playing football. And to my recollection, it was a severe form of it. Who knows how the mind will react to repeated blows like that. This was an 18 year old kid. And yes, he is deceased. His brain was studied.

aye leave his daughter out of it she four have respect for children who dont understand

never heard so much judgement as I have in the past few years. anyone who has lost their life deserves compassion.

I know this was 4 yrs ago, but I agree with you mickey. I might be an optimist, but I believe people are innately good. I don't think a person does evil things is necessarily evil, because it's all relative to our own definition of the word itself. I think we are products of our decisions, which are products of circumstance. I wish he made different choices. I wish he was on different circumstances. I'm not excusing his actions, but I have empathy for anyone who makes these decisions because they have so little regard for life, including their own.

John Doe A lot of people say that and don't really know what it means. Saying correlation doesn't equal causation simply means that you leave room for the possibility that one or more variables can possibly explain the correlation better but that's something that ultimately needs to be supplied. If you can't muster a better correlative variable than you must take the one that has been thoroughly tested as your best determinant. And in this case that correlation is well researched.

THEY JUST DONATED THE BRAIN FOR SCIENCE!!! They aren't blaming CTE for his actions.

I'm here after watching the Netflix series on Hernandez's case. What a story. But at the end of the day, what the guy said in the end in the series was true, whatever factor the people want to blame, Hernandez's decisions were made. He MADE those decisions, no hesitation.

Great point from molly towards the end

Well it is two feet forward

I didn't see anyone blaming his behavior on CTE. The study just said he had a debilitating case of CTE. The report said he had the brain of a 67 yr old man.

He played football starting at 6 years old.

Discussing mental health is a slippery slope. Unless you have experience with it, rather that be personally or being educated about it, its better left undiscussed by sed people. We all have things about us that are not on the up and up(Hernandez was obviously a narcissist). But when brain injury or imipairment is added to the mix, it can get very complex and complicated when trying to access an individuals decision making. Its like being drunk. If your a jerk before driking, typically the alcohol just make you more of one. Sensitivity is key to understanding anything; But so is accountability.

If you're concerned about having CTE, Please seek help. It's not shameful to admit you're dealing with issues. I started my journey after Jr Seau's suicide. Please start with one step towards help. There's more knowledge and understanding out there now. I've had had the wrong therapist and changed to another that "Gets it." Please seek help and find someone that can support you in your own journey towards understanding... You can find peace without suicide!

C t e is not an excuse and you shouldn't be the one talking unless you're the one that was out there taken constant head shots

yet he had stage 3 CTE... "I don't wanna hear about CTE" lol okay then. unless you address the behavioural changes CTE can cause, I don't think we should be under looking anything. prime example of medical issues with not enough known about them, being overlooked. who knows this could be avoidable in the future.

Having CTE and being a murderer are not mutually exclusive. You can be both. Did CTE impact his ability to murder? I don't know, but I can't rule that out 100%.

Me either

Molly is a big AH fan, constantly taking his side or justifying his behaviour and actions, making excuses and theories on his behalf. The host should be impartial as a starting point, and we would expect her to have a basic level of morality and values. It's a pity that is not the case, she needs to check herself for sure.

Atlas orthogonal can help. Try it bc medical docs have no answers. It reversed all my sons symptoms from a severe head/neck trauma. It is easy and safe.

Is they blaming it or telling you what he had ??????

In my honest opinion, victims of CTE are too scared to get professional help. And by that, I mean victims of CTE know that there is something wrong with them, but they cannot tell what is wrong with them, so they end up not thinking straight and end up taking the coward's way out by killing innocent victims on purpose and committing suicide on purpose out of premeditation. And the stupid thing is, CTE examiners can only examine damaged human brains after the person/people who has/have suffered from CTE is/are dead. It has to be the other way around, as in seek professional help immediately and not take the coward's way out. Makes sense, right? There's no doubt in my mind that is what had happened with WWE wrestler Chris Benoit.

Who believes he was innocent and this was not a suicide... Why did they report that there was no note found. Now 3 notes have been found. Who believe this or not

ZoodleInfo I don't believe it at all. Because he has a daughter and a fiance/ baby mama. He woulda left a letter or something to explain himself. Something just isn't right about this case at all. It breaks my heart to even know that there's a baby involved. I pray that God forgives him if he really did kill that man intentionally. I also pray for all his family and close friends for a speedy recovery after this tragedy. 😭😭😥💔💔

We don't know how much CTE affected him. Not enough research has been done. These guys are making too many assumptions and educated guesses. Why not wait for more evidence to be brought forth.

I was agreeing with this video until the third guy talked....CTE isn't an excuse for behavior as much as bipolarism is. But it is a cause. If there is CTE effects on Aarons brain, it won't lesson his guilt...example: I think Jovon Belcher of the KC Chiefs had CTE. did it make light of what he did? no....but it helped explain the rational. It Aaron had CTE, it won't excuse the actions, but it will help explain his thought prices and mental state. The family just wants to see if there was a problem mentally or not....example again: there is a difference between someone with chronic depression who commits suicide and someone with no mental illnesses who does the same thing.

These guys are trying really hard to deny CTE can cause violent behavior. They don't know what they're talking about. Hernandez family are NOT looking for sympathy, just answers and it's not so far fetched to start with football and CTE. NFL owners are among the wealthiest people on earth and they are the ones profiting from injuries and suffering of the players. The owners are so greedy they actually find ways to make taxpayers to fund their little roman coliseums of carnage. When will the owners own up to their responsibility in this? Never. The money is more important to them.

You can't find that shit in college there's highchool junior ball

Why did Molly start talking

This killings was not Hernandez taking his life There's a lot more to this

I have bipolar disorder I've had a few concussions I'm not killing people I'm not carrying guns if I go to a bar I don't need a babysitter. Fact is Aaron Hernandez was just a bad guy and people need to stop dancing around that

These people need to watch Concussion you can see the ignorance! Children are the most vulnerable! Furthermore CTE isn’t diagnosed until after death!

He use to murder defenses, then he switched to people

NFL has every reason to downplay the effects of CTE.

if its not CTE then let them do the test then whats to debate???

Ok if they are gonna let Aaron Hernandez off the hook for those deaths because of CTE then the same has to happen with Chris Benoit who was actually much older than Hernandez. But in my opinion Hernandez turned into a street thug some time early in his life and he never let it go.

After further review the ruling on the field stands the receiver's feet were not in bounds

The Family Aarón Hernandez Wife Doughter no more

Aaron Hernandez behavior problem was strictly emotional due to his father's passing. I see all the time before a love one passes some people pray and pray hope that god answers and when their love one still passes they turn to a dark place. In his case it seems there was no one there to pull him out.
