This New York Times article features a mother mourning the loss of her 32 year old son, who for years had drifted, in spite of a degree from Dartmouth.
A quote -
Examinations of the brain of Patrick Risha, 32, at the University of Pittsburgh and Boston University revealed chronic traumatic encephalopathy, or C.T.E., the degenerative disease caused by repeated blows to the head that has been found in the brains of dozens of former football players. C.T.E. has been linked to depression, impulsive actions and short-term memory loss, among other symptoms.
As much as I love football, it's not worth this pain and suffering.
