With the NFL, it seems these types of stories happen every year, only to get swept under the rug. Titus Young, Chris Henry, Seau and that Rams RB are just a few of the recent examples.
There is plenty of police activity with both MLB and NBA players. Football players seem to get more press too. 90 players in training camp for 32 teams is a lot.
Some people have mental illness too. When you take that big of a population there will be some legit mental illness issues in there somewhere.
Won't try to deny CTE. But boxers and MMA fighters should be worse than anyone.
It seems to me the NFL has more of a prescription drug problem than the others too.

Ridiculous amounts of opioids probably aren't good for your brain either.
