just saw that article about boxers and brain trauma its so sad what these athletes go through, thinking they're invincible from the ring but really their bodies are paying the price we gotta educate these young fighters and their families about the risks of CTE, its not just about winning or losing, its about living a healthy life after all that punishment the nfl settlement is a good start, maybe boxing can learn from it too

I'm so sorry to hear about Davey Browne Jr. and Heather Hardy's struggles... their stories are just heartbreaking. It's like, you're playing a game that's supposed to be fun and exhilarating, but sometimes it can come with such devastating consequences . It's time for us to really think about the cost of our passions, you know?

I feel so bad for all the young boxers out there who don't even realize they might be putting their brains at risk . Education and awareness are like, super important right now... I wish we could go back in time and have these conversations with athletes when they're younger .

It's kinda inspiring that a settlement was reached with NFL players who suffered brain damage ... maybe this can help pave the way for change in boxing too? We need to prioritize those athlete's safety and well-being, no question .

I'm telling you, it's like they're trying to silence us or something... all these brain injuries in boxers and no one's talking about the real reason behind it like there's a huge profit margin involved in concussions... remember that settlement with NFL players? That was just a way to keep quiet about how much money is being made off our brains . And now they're trying to tell us that we should be educating young athletes? Come on, that's just a cover-up . I'm not saying it's not important to care about athlete safety, but something's not adding up...

I'm not saying boxers should just stop fighting altogether , but come on, these young athletes are literally putting their brains on the line every time they step into that ring! CTE is no joke, it's like a ticking time bomb waiting to go off in their minds . And what about all those settlement payments from the NFL? Yeah, I think we're just seeing the tip of the iceberg with boxing .

It's time for the sport to take responsibility and start putting the athlete's safety first . Education and awareness are key, but I also think there needs to be more research into how to prevent this kind of brain damage in the first place . We can't just sit back and watch our athletes suffer like that . It's time for some real change in the boxing world .
