Hard to feel bad for a guy who refuses to get the help he has clearly needed for years.

It’s really not.

Dealt with a friend that had and still has a booze problem. At first sympathy is there...... when that person refuses to seriously help themselves.... it becomes easier to lose the sympathy. 

This person tried at least a dozen times over the period of 3 years to get help...... but always went back to their old ways, with every excuse imaginable. After a while you feel like you are in a rerun and depending on how close you are...... you realize that you are slowly being dragged down and used up.

That was more than 10 years ago and I no longer have contact with them........ but I do know it is still going on. 

Now after typing this out....... I  realize I do have sympathy for them........ but in a different way.

Do you like and watch football?  I assume so since you post on this message board.  Fact is the guy took a brutal blow to the head in a playoff game and hasn't been the same since.

The NFL really needs to have a better support system. I realize the WWE was pretty much forced into it after the steroid trials and one of their performers murdering his entire family, but they have much better mental health and drug support programs for their performers than the NFL does. With the billions upon billions the NFL generates in revenue, there's no reason for this. 

Teams keep hiring him.   Acting like they are doing him a solid.  They are not.   If you know someone has mental issues and isn’t dealing with them end you hire him to go get his head smashed and provide him with large sums of money to be wreckless you are not doing him any favors  

watch the Rams will sign him tomorrow for their playoff run.

Stop. Getting a concussion doesn’t flip a switch that makes you lash out like a toddler.   There are High school, college, and professional football players getting concussed on a weekly basis.  Every Friday and Saturday night there are professional boxers getting knocked out all over the country.

Hockey players, gymnasts, soccer players, rugby players, etc… all getting concussions.  Why aren’t all these people turning into immature unaccountable people?

I don't know why a head injury doesn't affect every athlete the same way.  But it's not like I'm the first person to point this out.

Hot new hip hop is where I get all of my football medical news from. 

Look, I still might laugh at some of the memes making fun of the guy for being an imbecile.  However, I think there's a chance that him being an imbecile is due to damage to his brain from playing football.  And the evidence is his behavioral change after taking the blow to the head.  Whether you want to scoff at that or not is fine, I'm not a scientist and I haven't seen the guy's melon.

If his behavior was due to a concussion he had 5 years ago, he wouldn’t be an outlier.  There would be a TON of more athletes acting just like him, since the amount of athletes that suffer concussions on a yearly basis is vast.

Just in the NFL alone, there are around 225 reported concussions every single year.  So even if just 1% of those concussions had this effect that the esteemed medical journal "hotnewhiphop” is claiming, that would mean there would have been 10 model citizen football players turned into Antonio Brown over the last 5 years.

And oddly enough, there’s just 1 Antonio Brown….

No, that’s not "evidence”, that’s coincidence.  

Also, it's not even coincidence.  If you read into it, you'll see that Browns problems began BEFORE that 2016 playoff game.  The coaching staff just coddled him and gave him special star treatment.  Constantly showing up late to meetings.  Allowing Brown to stay in a rental property during training camp instead of at the facility where all the other players were required to stay, etc...

They gave him a long leash and kept things under wraps because of what he could do on the field.  He started lashing out when they started trying to actually hold him accountable and made it publicly known what was going on.

It’s crazy that around that time is when he was considered the best wr in the nfl. It’s almost like his head got to big and not from the concussion.

I don't remember that.

 

I do remember working a TON of hours on my 3rd co-op to help make sure chemical processing plants in South America didn't explode Jan 1 2000.
