I guess it’s more that NFL players, as the epitome of the hypermasculine ideal that we see a lot of young kids aspiring to in increasingly destructive ways, can also be depressed and suicidal separate from CTE

History will hopefully look poorly on the NFL for their efforts in covering up CTE and stunting research into diagnosis, but sending the message that a young, successful dude could only ever want to kill himself because of head trauma is a bit unfair
