It's nothing more than speculation that brain injuries were the reason for Junior Seau's suicide. Many people suffer from depression and mental disorders without ever having had a concussion.

I have no problem believing that Seau may have suffered some traumatic brain injury while playing football, nor that brain injuries have been linked to mental disorders in in ex-football players. But beyond that, it's pure conjecture.

No problem. I expected this to be the result of their finding. While I believe the league is culpable and they along with the NFLPA needs to take better care of inactive/retired players, I believe that many players would still play knowing the risks involved.

It will be interesting to see what the result of the lawsuit against the NFL is...
