Former NFL player Phillip Adams had stage 2 chronic traumatic encephalopathy, or CTE, when he allegedly gunned down 6 people before taking his own life in April, officials say.

. He was found dead from a suspected self-inflicted gunshot wound in a nearby home on the same street as the victims, officials said.Phillip’s brain tissue sent in for CTE tests

in collaboration with Boston University researchers, who have been at the forefront of studying the brain disease. The former NFL cornerback, originally from Rock Hill, played with the San Francisco 49ers, the New England Patriots, the Seattle Seahawks, the Oakland Raiders, the New York Jets and most recently the Atlanta Falcons until 2015.during a game Dec. 26, 2010, in his rookie season, between his visiting 49ers and the St. Louis Rams. In that game, his left ankle and foot appeared to be snapped and pointed in different directions after he was pinned down by a Rams player.

“Numerous notebooks were located with cryptic writing with different designs and emblems," according to Det. D. Askew’s summary of the April 9 search. “Detectives had also learned that Phillip Adams had been acting differently and possibly following a new religion or ideology,” the detective wrote.The search also led to the discovery of two “sub machine gun/ rifle style firearms” of the same calibers used in the attack, and seven handguns, the sheriff's office said.

he probably did tkzv “nemoj da te ja glavom” … u napadu … 😂😂😂

لايريدون الابتعاد عن طريقنا

Duh

Ah excuses. It was the cte. Not him, he was an angel. It if weren’t for that cte controlling his every move and decision, he would have been in control of himself. But he wasn’t. So not his fault at all. Rest easy loved ones of his victims, it wasn’t really him. Love to see it.

Why allegedly? Cant say a black man gunned down people got it

This is so sad on so many levels. 😞

helmets don’t prevent concussions. the only thing that prevents concussions is not letting your brain rattle around inside your head. 🤙🏻

Does herschel walker suffer from this too? He should not be allowed to run for public office if he does.

What’s the solution? Bigger helmets? Ban football? Remove brains prior to games?

Sounds like the media making more excuses for violent black criminals

Blah blah blah blah blah Don't blame it on anything but a man who can't control his anger. Give me a f****** break

clickbait headline

South Carolina has no red flag law. It would be a great time to pass one.

We should stop letting our children grow up taking free shots to the head

Don't let your kids play football.

I'm sure the severe brain trauma figured into the shooting people but I think it has more to do w/ the violent American culture where you guys like to shoot each other along w/ a country flooded with guns

NFL's dirty secret. When will media focus in on the concussion problem in the NFL ? Not while the NFL is a golden goose for so many. Sick

Child murderer

CTE studies are mostly restricted to athletes. Until testing/dissection of brains of non athletes is done equally CTE will be a flawed theory.

Is there a similar pattern of CTE for Rugby players or just football players?

NFL league is dangerous for people and if this what it’s doing to people maybe the league should be shutdown.

This sport will stay as long as people buy in - Money talks

Hockey and UFC and boxing and auto racing.....Dale Earnhardt Jr is donating his brain for CTE study post mortem. The brother of my childhood friend was in NHL, they think this is his problem.

Every one of these stories makes me think, 'That's it, I'm giving up football. My entertainment shouldn't require death and injury for other people.' Then I get weak around family and friends. Is there any way to make this sport safer for players?

Ever wonder why there aren’t brain issues that cause people to do good things?

WHy didn't he obey the strict gun laws?

Ban Football. That's how this works right?

NFL requiring COVID-19 booster shots by Dec. 27The NFL is requiring players, coaches and other team personnel to receive a COVID-19 booster by Dec. 27. Hi AaronRodgers12 You should have been suspended by the NFL Incorrect. Players fall under a different protocol due to the collective bargaining agreement. Not the biggest deal in the world. But it just bothers me that ABC could fuck this headline up Of course, all those frail, sick, and illness-prone people. And, this is the last booster they are ever going to need.🙂
