Junior Seau dead, probable suicide
North County Times reporting Seau "found dead by a housekeeper of a gunshot wound to the chest."
https://twitter.com/#!/LATimesfarmer...55054793560065 Junior Seau Dead Cops Investigating Shooting Cops are currently at Seau's home just outside San Diego. Seau was 43-years-old ... and leaves behind 3 kids and an ex-wife. Seau was a beast in the NFL -- skyrocketing to fame thanks to his explosive play with the San Diego Chargers, Miami Dolphins and New England Patriots. The USC standout was selected in the first round of the NFL draft in 1990 and played in the league for 20 years. Seau was involved in a car accident back in 2010 when he drove his SUV off a cliff in Carlsbad, CA hours after he was arrested for allegedly attacking his girlfriend. Seau later said he was not trying to kill himself ... insisting he had fallen asleep at the wheel. http://www.tmz.com/2012/05/02/junior-seau-dead/ Last edited by Quesadilla Joe; 05-02-2012 at 12:35 PM.. |

Self destruction is a burden to the family members of anyone, even single people without kids. But if you create multiple human beings (like Junior), you should be expected to take better care of yourself and be held accountable and give a shit more than someone who doesn't, IMO. |

It could be, that in his damaged mind, he thought he was doing right by his family to not have to put them through witnessing his slow demise. But that's the thing about trying to rationalize the actions of someone with a broken brain, you can never know.

Suicide attempts are the result of months and more often years of complex mental torment that becomes unbearable. And the makeup of the brain plays a huge role in it. See this post http://www.chiefsplanet.com/BB/showt...=259161&page=9 Myself from the link above- Head trauma damages brain neurons, neurons transmit messages throughtout the brain via chemicals known as neurotransmitters, serotonin is a neurotransmitter and a lack of serotonin is a common cause of depression as well as anxiety disorders. Decreased neurons means decreased transmissions of neurotransmitters such as serotonin throughout the brain which means increased risk of depression, especially in conjunction with other issues he apparently faced. In short, all depression is not considered equal. And that is without even going into the different levels, severities, frequecies, and intesity of symptoms. But strictly speaking of this case it is probable, due to his football history, that he had even poorer physiological brain function than the average person with a depressive disorder. I promise you that Junior did not say to himself, "I don't care about my loved ones, so I am going to do this for my own benefit." |

I'm a little confused about the study my brain thing. What's the end game? Ban football? Or give my family money?

..or maybe I"m a failure as a father and a human being because I can't give them what they need, so I'll off myself before I hurt them any more than I already have, and maybe I can help keep others from ever being in this position. You just never know.

There's absolutely zero chance anybody is suing the NFL. Every contract signed says "football is dangerous, you could be hurt, maimed, or killed so by taking this money you and everybody you ever knew can't sue us."

A lot of black people ARE racist, being gay IS a choice, and most (not all) depression IS due to selfishness. I think you show your ignorance by thinking otherwise. Determining ignorance is a matter of perspective and obviously yours is wrong. |
