    Anyone catch this?

    It's making a pretty strong case...

    Short of it is that the domestic violence issues are largely intertwined with brain damage caused by head trauma

    Many of these deceased guys, a lot of them killed themselves, have been found to have had CTE http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chronic_traumatic_encephalopathy

    Many instances going back years where guys who were gentle and kind turned into wife beaters and just terrors for their families after sustaining these head injuries.

    Kinda makes you look at all this domestic violence stuff that's being put in the limelight now in a new way

    Didn't see it, so take this with a grain of salt. But a lot of these guys manifest anger and violence issues while they are plenty young. They're football players for christ sakes.

    I wouldn't be too keen on seeing the daim bramage being used to get these guys of the hook.
