[…] Irv Muchnick has created links to his “Dave Duerson NFL Suicide Story You’ll Read Nowhere Else – In Five Parts“. […]
Dr. Sanjay Gupta ran a story about Dave on CNN today around 230pm covering the CTE issue pretty well, Chris Nowinski and Dave’s family members also contributed to the feature. Very tragic although if more awareness is raised on the issue, good will eventually come out of this.
But did CNN report that Duerson, while probably with CTE, sat on an NFL committee denying benefits to other ex-players who probably also had CTE?
No? I didn’t think so.
Good point! I didn’t hear that brought up! I was just glad to see this subject receiving some air time, rather than being swept under the rug
