Lawyers for former NFL player and convicted murder Aaron Hernandez who killed himself in prison said he suffered from Concussion syndrome and a diminished mental capacity. On behalf of his daughter the NFL and The Patriots are being sued for the father she will never know. (As if having concussion syndrome and a diminished mental capacity is why he murdered someone).

Football injuries are serious business. My buddy is 23. Smart and super intelligent. He played football in high school for 3 years and suffered 2 concussions. From time to time he has memory problems. He also suffers back problems from time to time. Last year when he bent over to pick up a 16 once box of crackers a customer dropped he threw his back out.
