  • Phillip Adams, a former NFL player accused of killing six people in a mass shooting in Rock Hill before taking his own life in early April, showed signs of severe brain damage caused by CTE, a researcher from Boston University said Tuesday.
    Dr. Ann McKee, a neuropathologist and expert on neurogenerative diseases at Boston University, said Adams had severe CTE in both frontal lobes of his brain. Dr. Sabrina Gast, the York County coroner, said Adams' family told officials he had complained of excruciating pain, memory issues and difficulty sleeping late in life.
    "His 20-year career put him at high risk for development of CTE," McKee, who conducted the study on Adams' brain, said. "It's a progressive disease that worsens with age. In many instances, it is a disease of the young."
    Police say Adams shot and killed Robert Lesslie, 70, his wife Barbara Lesslie, 69, and two of their grandchildren, Adah, 9, and Noah, 5, as well as two HVAC workers, James Lewis, 38, and Robert Shook, 38 on April 7 in Rock Hill.

    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 think it’s sick too but they make more money in a few years then many do in a lifetime and it’s never “free” it’s a sport with risks .. yes they should talk about CTE and let people know .. the damage is done in early childhood for some of these people

      I’m so sorry. It’s something that really needs to be discussed more. Student athletes and their parents need to know. There are no excuses. The NFHS doesn’t even acknowledge a link between CTE and football, although the NFL does. This needs to be immediately changed. Football players are football players regardless of their age

    Some guys takes hits for decades, retire, become sports casters and businessmen....etc. - they're fine. But a certain percentage of people - higher than what I would have guessed - end up with CTE and it's freaking horrible. I was shocked that of 111 brains donated 110 had degrees of CTE. If I were a parent I wouldn't even let my kid play football. There are plenty of other sports where you don't have to deal with this risk. For that matter, if 110 out of 111 brains examined had this pathology it isn't even a "risk" - it's basically a certainty that a player is gonna have some degree of this damage to the brain. That's crazy.

      Mental illness is real, no one claimed he was a victim. They are just providing a potential motive for his irrational actions. As someone else said already, do you think we should just turn a blind eye to the current state of many football players? All of these players doing crazy things and acting “off”. We need more awareness about this, so we can discover treatment options, and things like this stop happening.
