I have met him when I was 5. It was after church in the parking lot and my dad told me he was a hall of famer so as any football addicted 5 yr old boy I said to him “I wanna play football when I grow up” and then he took a long pause and said “don’t”
Mememan The goat amazing story from a man years from Knowing he had cte - did you play football or no after that experience
Nope because today I’m not really as altheltic as I was years ago
@@joenuts7522 lmao would you have even make the team rofl
@@joys8634 probs not
Nithin Naikar pretty good man. Mainly a basketball guy.
Thank God for Dr. Omalu for exposing this despite all the negative pressure not to
Dr Omalu should have been deported for threatening American culture a long time ago
@Hải Hùng he's an existential threat to a national religion, and American Football is a national religion!
@@glenb1426 wow your a moron
@@jleos0095 hes trolling
@@glenb1426 dude the man saved lives. I still play and so do plenty of kids. He just revealed to us the risks of what we were doing so we could play safer. Be more grateful
I played center and linebacker for over a decade. I can’t remember things anymore.
Pray to Jesus
Dont give up
Please, dont
Like the other person said, don’t give up. There is still a reason why you are here.
“I can’t remember anything🎶, don’t know if this is true or a dream🎶!!!”
Find hobbies and things to try and keep your brain healthy and active. I am sorry this has happened to you.
I played football for 8 years. From age 11 to 18. I had full scholarship to a division 1 school. Turned it down to pursue life. I had (some) concussions. Now, many years later I have noticed some thing about myself; memory loss, depression, mood change, wanting to be alone. Maybe natural maybe not but I am glad I did not play in college. Did not let my son play football. I believe ultimately that, the NFL will be in trouble.
Patrick Leabo Good luck, bro. I regret playing football in high school.
Pissed Off Billie Good idea to not play football. Are you just doing PE or another sport?
Pissed Off Billie I hope you enjoy Lacrosse and swimming. No problem, bro. Cheers.
How you doing now man? I played 15 seasons from age 7-19. Not feeling the best myself
Slug McGurk turned it down???? Yeah now I know you cappin
I love the game of football as much as anything but there is more to life than just football.
Brave man. I hope he doesn't take his own life like the other players. His positive attitude is a comfort and inspiration to others who suffer this condition.
I remember tackle football in my youth , was brutal, I didnt even like football, by mom made me play to toughen me up, from 8 years old to 13, I played bantam weight , and J1 football, I remember in practice wed go heads up, line up in the 3 point stance, a foot apart, and our coaches would tell us bang our helmets at eachother, we had some pretty brutal tackling drills for kids, not to mention old gear that didnt fit good, everyday after football practice I had a horrible headache, mind bending, I stopped concentrating in school, started stressing more, and I hated football, I'll never forget me and this dude clashed so hard our facemasks got stuck together, or the day of a game, where I got hit so hard and didnt have my helmet on properly, I didnt know what position I was or where I was, I hate football, did not want to play high school at all because I was over the headaches, all the football players I knew, now have anger issues, or depression like me, I'm not saying I have cte as a result of my short lived child hood football career but I know it wasn't good, I hated the unsafe uncaring hueneme rhinos football, horrible experience
@@jdmarti100 I knew a jd Martinez in highscool....that you jd..? How did the Marines go....
Real men play football....toughen up sissy boy.
In the year of 1992 I play football in high school and one of my friends that also plays was offered to play with jv for their last game... I heard he got hit so hard he got knocked out then when he woke up he did not know where he was or his name.. the next day in class the teacher made him look at the wall or put his head on the desk cause he could not look at a screen... he’s better now but just a few days ago I guess he got caught vaping in the bathroom... don’t know if her really did it or just was at the wrong place at the wrong time...
@@banditsdrunkonthereserve8214 lol football is embarrassing. I’d ko you in 10 seconds
That’s why this study is beautiful.
Those men that made you do it had no clue just how bad it was.
In their minds, it was tough love and it was necessary but through science we’re able to see the opposite
I played football and lacrosse throughout my young age and until halfway through college. I was always known as a hard hitter. I am 26 years old now and I can see my anxiety getting worse and uncontrollable. I hope I can do things to help myself, but unfortunately the damage is irreversible
Go to Jesus
He is real
Im not talking about religion
He is a live
Hope it helps
Dont give up! Please!
Find out what the real issue is
i played football for 3 years and boxed for 12.... im very nervous. i already have memory issues and repeat myself like a child.... im only 30
@@jezusova no that comment does not help at all
Beta blockers like propranolol can do a lot to help relieve the symptoms of anxiety.
This is why I never even thought of playing football. There is more to life than constant head injuries for million dollar paychecks.
lmao not every football player gets cte. if you hit correctly, you're fine. tbh you're probably just a pansy.
Bing Bong your an idiot.
Smart. Only few players ever see a million dollars anyway. They get really damaged.
@@dickwizzler8440 pretty sure they tested 100 nfl players and 1 didn’t have cte the rest did...
@@goatclips2222 Speaking as a physician, we need to be Honest. That test WAS biased! They studied the brains of guys who were having big problems. Even kickers tested positive. I recognize that some kickers get tackled in the flat during trick plays, or maybe used to play other positions, but, still...
That said-the deniers like owner Jerry Jones point out that NFL players "live longer" than non-football playing peers. That's SUPER dishonest!! Most are African Americans from "The Hood." The white ones are from trailer parks. If they are millionaires and leave the ghetto they will not be shot like those who stay. They also are (somewhat) less likely to go to prison. As elite athletes, they are not obese and rarely smoke (retired players sometimes do have weight issues.) The valid comparison is with jocks who play major league baseball, where there are fewer concussions. MLB and NBA players have good longevity. The NHL, however, is somewhat like the NFL...concussions and CTE.
Sorry he is suffering. He looks like he is in amazing shape. Sleep issue sounds like Webster.
Mike Webster would tase himself to sleep
I'm sorry for anybody who gets this condition. I can empathize from personal experience With this condition And anyone who will have it I am thankful that this man Did it video And this interview
My husband is very scared, he played football from 2008-2012 and was a linebacker. We are going to the docter very soon. He is very athletic but sometimes siezes up and can''t move his legs or arms. He moves normally but in situations has panik attacks and can't move his legs or arms out of no where. We are very scared any advice helps.
Defs go get it checked out, I played LB too.
Fantastic editing
Bless you sir.
I played football for years and knew a man by the name of DJ. We were on the canoneers. That was our team. DJ was our MVP. Major talented man. Friendly too. He carried our team and he had such a big future. But he would have a concussion maybe twice every season. And eventuslly the man who was our MVP was barely recognizable. He had the the behavior of a man in his 70s! He was 15-16. He was always out of school for concussions. He must of given up football because he began showing up to every class and one day they put him in special ed. I know because i was in special ed. (I have some serious mental illnesses). So it was crazy to see him end up in the special ed class i was in for years. No more girls, no more glory, no more touchdowns. Just tragedy. DJ, if youre reading this i truly hope you are okay and alive. Youre a good man.
GOD BLESS HIM. THIS IS NOT ONLY AN NFL CONDITION. I AM LIVING AND BEEN DIAGNOSED WITH CTE. LIKE HE SAID, THIS CAN HAPPEN TO ANYONE. AND HE IS CORRECT.! AND YES, IT CAN BE DIAGNOSED IN THE LIVING WITH PROPER EXTENSIVE TESTING AND FANTASTIC NEUROLOGISTS! MY HEART BREAKS FOR ALL THAT PASSED AWAY FROM THIS AND ALL THAT ARE LIVING WITH THIS. It's a horrible condition.
I'm living with it ...plese help me I'm Indian
I just dropped out of playing division 2 college football during the pandemic. I’m studying biochemistry and wised up on bashing my brains to bits unfortunately but I’m hoping that I can help change how we can chemically restore the brains tau. I’ve had 2-4 concussions, all were very light concussions( I have very long arms and was coached by an ex-nfl player that taught us strictly form over tackling👏🏾) so I’m hoping with mental upkeep supplementing and research I can lead a healthy life.
you are on the right path!! i wish all the best, you did the right thing!!!!
God speed my friend. Do what you can. We need more minds working on this problem.
May I ask what you take to take care of your brain?
@@no1up lots of fats, good fats though. Omega 3 is a major help because it helps with the brains myelination which helps out your neural axons and overall helps with cognition.
I am so glad to hear he is feeling better I hope that is not a placebo feeling. I have been hearing as I research this topic it starts hitting around age 55 to 60 This will be the bigger chess for Brett Favre this guy and many of them. I’m gonna mention again the NFL has plenty of money they should be taking care of these people that made their sport famous
Joe was a warrior in his heyday.
Jasen Isom of the 49ers has unconfirmed CTE (because he’s still living, for now) but has the memory loss and time gaps, heart stops randomly, must use oxygen , and now walks with a walker. Not even 50 and the NFL isn’t doing squat about it. 4 kids and a wife and the “BEARCAT BROTHERHOOD” go fund me page is all he has… that is sick, sad, and despicable for a money making league to use players then discard them when they retire. Just sickening…
I remember his printing shop in North Olmsted, Ohio.
Idk why but for the last week or so after a boxing match where the coach put me up against this adult player who was really good every hit he through on me had me seeing white. I'm pretty sure the next day I had a CSF leak which I have had twice do to concussions and so far 3 weeks later I have had a pressure head ache or tension headache and mild short term memory problems such as forgetting I already had plate out for my food or putting milk in the pantry instead of the fridge. I have had a history of playing football since I was 9 till I was and 11 for a team and my brother and I would always play tackle football without gear on. Now I'm 15 and the way my head feels I seriously think I could have early symptoms of CTE
That's scary man, im 17 and have had a few concussions while playing basketball. Started having memory loss, trouble sleeping and heightened stress, and social anxiety. Ended up quitting and started focusing on school more avoiding contact sports. Along with seeing a therapists to keep my stress down and keeping a healthy diet and lifestyle things have gotten better. Even though the damage is irreversible you can still take measures to treat it and how you treat it now will have the biggest effect long term. All is not lost man, keep yourself healthy and avoid hard contact sports if you can. Best of luck 💪
Stop playing immediately, and don't do anything else that can risk your long term brain health.
I'm glad I never pursued a career in football
Jonathan coleman anything that has a potential to mess up your brain, should be avoided
You don't have to play football to have CTE. Protect your head.
Jonathan coleman my friends had like 6 concussions and he’s 19. Is it likely he could get this?
@@tazmuzta6974 Likely, he should quit now to save himself.
Tazmuzta 99% chance he has cte
He's still going strong
So glad to hear the update, thanks!
God bless you Joe Keep your mind busy, body active, eliminate stress,alcohol and do things you enjoy! But the most important thing,. Lean on Jesus. He has big shoulders.
Douglas Pel big shoulders? Seems pretty malnourished to me
James Fan and he's like 5 5
What supplements?
M
I was diagnosed with cte at 25 I stopped playing it threfter
how do u feel?
What medication or supplements does he take?
--BULL IN THE RING....... as kids we performed this exceptionally brutal practice drill every day at FB practice, I remember seeing stars and getting knocked out bad when the coach would pit the linemen up against us QB's and running backs.... I am now worried, and I am worried for all who played pee wee football up to high school ...
yeah I think drills like that will change it doesn’t even teach technique or anything
I loved that drill in middle school as a small fry, but kickoff as a skinny freshman versus full speed seniors who have been lifting mad weights? In retrospect no wonder I wasnt having fun lol
Lineman against QB? Ur coach was brutal 😂😂
Yes he was Brutal but I will say this, I could take a sac from an all out Blitz like a champ and only got seriously once all season cause I was used to it because of the drill with the bigger guys..@@minnesotamatt1980
I box as an amateur and hearing about ho many football plauers have cte signs so early on is mental and how many concussions alot of them get, I am still yet to have a concussion a dont have any cte symptoms yet
2 years later how about now bro? Genuinely asking because I’m starting my career as we speak.
@UFCSloMo still sound the only concussion I've had is outside of boxing from getting jumped lmao, other than that I can count on one hand how many punches have buzzed me I think it's like 3 times. Along as your smart with sparring and have solid defence you should be fine, I haven't noticed any effects yet
@UFCSloMo everyone's chins different tho I'm blessed with a very good one
What supplements does he take?
I think because of what happened to Chris Benoit in his family is what really got to talks about CTE really going
The cure for CTE is to not play any sport where your head is constantly being hit. Football, boxing, hockey, MMA,
I'd like to know what he does to stay healthy after his CTE diagnosis. He mentioned supplements. Which ones?
Look into Serrapeptase James. earthclinic.com/ailments/cte-brain-trauma/
@minecraftliberal2009 You are right. Omega 3 increase gray matter in the brain and helps it function. The body doesn't naturally produce it though. Omega 3 supplements are also sold at stores.
tj baby or eat fish regularly
Amino acids for the brain help tremendously. I have several mental illnesses and I have been able to stabilize well with the Amino acids.
probably fish oil, omega 3s, flat seed oil, vitamin d, etc.
So sad..they losing their memories for just a little forgotten fame.
If after every Professional Football player retire they get this test done it could save a torment that comes with the unknown.
Sounds pretty good to me.
Doesn’t mean shit, u could still have cte easily
Brave man .wish they would ban sports that clash heads ...life too short and precious.
Wonder what his protocol is for vitamins?
How do you know if it can’t be diagnosed until death?
Very strong evidence from consistent symptoms that much up to certain X-Ray results.
He has CTE face. Poor guy is probably dealing with major headaches.
Change how they play the game.
Articles in 2019 which is now, show that you cannot determine if they do or do not have CTE until they have passed away so what is this guy talking about?
According to live science that are doing research on using cerebrospinal fluid to identify it in living patients so maybe he was involved in this study although I am not sure
Doing more research and found a better article that seems to confirm what he is saying nytimes "abnormal levels of a protein linked to cte found in NFL players brains study shows " they have two dozen former NFL players pet scans to look for the protein
He played pro football all his life he most definitely has it
Listen to Dr. Omalu the one who discovered it speak about it, he says the NFL I'd trying to downplay it and I believe him because the NFL tried so hard to stop him but failed now they are trying all they can to make CTE look like nothing serious
Common sense.
Well I’m glad I picked up golf lol
Oj Simpson blocker
Im so glad i didnt persue tackle. I played years in tackle but i was a horrible player because i didnt enjoy hurting others and would give halfased tackles. I was the GOAT in flag football though. The concusions are not worth it.
How are you doing now?
Nightmare Nightmare
can marijuana help?
Yes it does

I will say none of these guys asked for it .

Basketball and Soccer will eventually surpass american football in America. Look at all the parents not letting their sons play the game now. And rightfully so
heading balls in soccer is bad too
@@cliffbrowning84 far less. There are injuries in soccer, very rare that you get a concussion.
@@gustavoventurin Google heading balls and dementia
Take up the chess board for fuck sakes. Huge fan of hockey and football, just too violent in nature tho. Must be dealt with.
@@cliffbrowning84 Google CTE amongst soccer players. You're supposed to head the ball with the front part of your skull, not the middle, not the back..there is instances of head on collisions, but none that caused what American football does.
That’s what t -3 s are made for
CHOLINE. soy LETHICIN.
?
Sorry but CTE can only be diagnosed post Mortem
By studying the symptoms over the years of guys who died and had confirmed cases of CTE it can show likely signs among the living when they have similar abnormal symptoms.
I’m a coal miner, construction worker, roofer, carpet layer, chemical factory worker ....etc. I didn’t make as much as this guy, where is my free choice RUclips video?
I agree, he got to play in the elite NFL, make good money and become a hall of famer. Not to shabby at all.
