Or was he talking about ex-NFL players suffering from depression (and many other issues) because of the head injuries they've endured? |

He is stating that studies show that people who have suffered concussions are 8 time more likely to suffer from depression and that depression can lead to suicide.
I'm not saying I agree with it, but that's what Wright is saying. |

I've been around suicides, depression, metal stuff. The people who killed themselves honestly thought they were doing people a favor.

Yes because only Pro Football players commit suicide.
Another reason to hate sports talk radio....they bring up stupid topics just to fill airtime.

Depression is depression. How one gets to that point is rather trivial when you look at it. I just didn't buy the idea that playing football caused this and the NFL really needs to look into it. |

The link is pretty clear. I'm surprised this doesn't happen more often.

The normal population suicide rate is 1.53%, so NFL players should be killing themselves at a 12.24% rate? |

It's quite simple. Studies have shown that people who have suffered concussions are 8 times more likely to suffer from depression. Studies have also shown that depression can lead to suicide. There is a clear path. According to Wright of course. |
