Ken Stabler and Brain Disease C.T.E. | The New York Times

“Win at any cost” is the mantra of all professional head coaches and club owners. Players are simply well bred horses (or choose your animal) that are run until they can’t run no more.
But with that said, players go in with their eyes wide open.
I think the physical damage was always a given. The brain damage though ... players couldn't have known their helmets didn't protect them. These days players can make an informed decision about whether to risk it, but before all this came out? Nah.
@@flyingcapsicum I agree. I don't think most people if anybody was aware of CTE until Mike Webster and Dr. Amalou. It was always a physically brutal sport and that was bad enough. You add it the brain injuries and it's too much in my opinion. Definitely not worth playing it. Just my opinion.
So very sad! I recall partying at Diamond Back club in Houston with the Oilers players .. Kenny was a great guy, an awesome player! RIP my friend, you gave it your all!
The only way to get rid of cte in football is not to play it. The league that prints money, moves teams like checker pieces, and skims the top of the cancer fund needs to be exposed. I only played in high school but I bet I got it at 61. Rip Kenny you should have been inducted into the hof way before you passed.
I will never forget him...
Stabler who won championships in high school and college plus pro football sort of Triple Crown of accomplishments. A man who said Give me the ball and I'll get your championship.
it is obvious the NFL doesn't care about these old retired players Kenny Stabler gave his life to pro football one of the greatest quarterbacks I ever saw play Kenny love life and he loved his family and they love to have fun we miss you Kenny and we love you
Of course everybody knows about Hall of Famers Mike Webster, Pittsburgh Steelers and Junior Seau San Diego Chargers. Virtual concussion suicides.
The Snake was exciting to watch along with the Raiders. 💚
Well. If you go back to the 1970's, there was no concussion protocols. That probably would have taken 10 years off of Tom Brady's career because he is a big baby and the NFL protects him. If he played in the 1970's, he would have been a dead man. Just look at Jack Tatum's hit on Sammy White in Super Bowl 11. That didn't even draw a penalty. Just think about the abuse the quarterbacks took back then.....
True.
I wonder if Jim Otto has CTE. He used his head as a battering ram for 15 years.
Quarterbacks weren’t protected back then. They were tuff
We'll always miss you 🐍 💜 Thank you !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I drank soco and 7's with Kenny back at Rickeys sports bar in San Leandro back in the day.
So very sad especially as a Raider fan. Maybe we need to head to flag football.
My lord
One of the greats! RIP
Kenny Stabler a great football player a great quarterback of great father a great-grandfather Ana Grace human being rest in peace Kenny the best 2 minute quarterback in the history of the game we love you Kenny rest in peace
I have only one Raiders jersey, and it’s a #12 Stabler jersey
NFL is a multibillion dollar entity, as long as it sells,and players are willing to sell their souls,mind and body for unimaginable wealth, it stays on.
Jason Shea what if youth and highschool fail
Nope you wrong
Itll be there when you're gone
Playing football is a choice.Harsh but true.Those guys make a lot of money and that is why they risk their long term health.Many other occupations have their own rick factors(I am thinking construction,medicine,law enforcement) for far less pay and no one seems to be concerned about those people.
None of "those people" get smashed in the head thousands of times during their careers.
No one is pitying these men.
But, it is not fair that the medical professionals assigned to them, just ignored the pain these men went through.
It was just, here's your 'medicinal' shot and get back out there.
"Doc, is this thing your giving me, safe for me?"
-----"Why of course." he says as he sticks poison in their body for the umpteenth time.
DISGUSTING AND CRIMINAL.
Rip the greatest of all time
RIP ☠️🏈🐍
He was and still Is a legend Ken stabler the snake # 12!
You can’t stop nfl from playing contact sport. It’s pure CTE potential just as much as soldiers from war. NFL will only be a flag football. That’s 100% stop to CTE.
does anyone know the name of the background music?
No
Who's Randy?
What a sad story and to think that the NFL need to do something with concussion problem because they need helmets that shatter-proof and concussion-proof for the players.
It's a full contact sport of course there will be injuries concussion etc.
Football hits were different back then but concussions could still happen now

The Snake!. Roll Tide Roll!!!!!
Even before cte was discovered a football player knows after the collision to his head which causes a blackout in your brain that somethings gotta give with the frequency it’s happening to him. He is used to the violence but didn’t really know the seriousness and consequence as it is a progressive disease usually showing no immediate symptoms. If you take that element of hitting out of the game of football it would cease to exist. The nfl needs to put the ball back on the 20 yard line for kickoffs if real football is to be played the way it was supposed to and all 11 players including your qb should be treated equally on the field with no special treatment to one guy or you really don’t have a true championship team in the end and that was the beauty of the game you just can’t change that. Don’t play anymore no one is forcing you to. Real football already disappeared actually.
nfl wil die but football will live on, just like record companies folded but misc bands are still popping up left and right
RIP snake
I believe it dies first at the pee wee level, graduates to high school programs.. college..then NFL...once one large high school program or major college drops football, it will be an avalanche..I hope it's gone for good
❤️ the snake 🐍 Kenny Stabler
why should just the NFL be on the hook here!..by the time they get there most have already played and practiced 10 years or more!
Perhaps stop wearing helmets and they might be more careful. Naa noway, those people on the field have a killer instinct and you can't just remove that.
No 1970 football i played in it game soft
Well you should have started the video by telling us ignorant people what C.T.E stands for. You can't just assume everyone knows what it means.
It stands for Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy
Daniel Shepherd I knew that. Some others might not have known is my point. Thanks though.
First
Nfl will die off within the next 20 years and good riddance to it. And this is coming from a raider fan.
It wont And it doesnt matter that you are a Raiders Fan
Rasheed Nur you right
Exactly. I hope so. I grew up watching football. My uncle played for the chargers in the 80's. I played in high school. I wish I never played. They need to ban football forever. On all levels
To me I always thought Kenny Stabler was the best quarterback in the world don't get me wrong Derek Lamonica he was an awesome quarterback to and so was Jim Plunkett but in my eyes I always thought Kenny Stabler was the best he's up there now playing for the Lord's team
if a person with cte has a kid does the kid have cte or is he ok? just wondering
