Aaron Hernandez suffered from most severe CTE ever found in a person his age

#1

My question is at what point did this all start happening?  When he was a baby?  A kid?  Pop Warner football?  Youth football?  There has to be more baseline testing done on people of all ages to know exactly where this is happening.  "Normal" people do heinous acts every day, and don't use CTE as an excuse for it.

I understand there are some players that had serious mental and psychological issues from CTE (Junior Seau and Mike Webster), but the guys that are playing now know the risks.  I know when I was playing we thought we were all set with the helmet.  The guys (and parents of kids) playing now know they can never be completely safe.

He had issues in high school and college so this was not an NFL issue, yet the girlfriend is suing the NFL like it was their fault.
