Becky Zerlentes - the first female boxer to die in fight in US

I'm telling you, it's all about covering up the real reasons behind these brain injuries. Like, what if boxing and football aren't the main culprits? What if it's something more sinister at play? Maybe it's not just the physical trauma that's the problem, but also the psychological manipulation involved in these sports. I mean, think about it - young athletes are pushed to their limits, sometimes even beyond safety guidelines, all for the sake of winning and fame. It's like they're being groomed for something...

And don't even get me started on the fact that both Davey Browne Jr. and Amy Lavelle's child have been affected by CTE. That's not just a coincidence, my friend. There's a connection there, I'm sure of it. Maybe it's not just about head injuries, but also about the pressure to perform and the toll it takes on their minds and bodies. We need to be looking at the bigger picture here, not just the symptoms.

I'm totally against boxing and American football being banned or anything . Like, I think it's great that people can still enjoy the thrill of competition and physical activity. But at the same time, I think we should be super strict about safety measures and stuff... like, players gotta wear all this crazy protective gear all the time . And yeah, education is key – kids need to know about the risks, but they also need to know that it's okay to get hurt sometimes . I mean, what if we just make these sports too safe? That sounds boring . But on the other hand, CTE and brain injuries are super serious... like, my gran had some friend who played football and now they're all messed up mentally . Ugh, I don't know, man . Can we just find a balance or something?

I'm not saying boxing is boring, but I think Davey Browne Jr.'s fight was like a real-life video game - you know, where you keep getting hit till you're out for good . But seriously though, CTE and brain injuries are no joke. Amy Lavelle's story is so sad - I mean, who wants their kid to have a grown man's problems from being born with a big head?

And can we talk about American football for a second? That sport is like the ultimate crash test dummy show . I'm pretty sure Tom Brady's brain would be like a sponge if he kept getting hit by 250-pound guys .

On a more serious note, though (just for a sec), it's awesome that people are speaking up about this stuff. Education and awareness are key, so maybe we can get some sports leagues to rethink their tackling rules or something ? The kids (and parents) deserve it!

The more I think about it , the more I'm like "what's up with these contact sports?! " Boxing and American football are literally two of the most brutal sports out there, and we're just sitting back watching them like they're some kinda fun spectator sport . Don't get me wrong, I think it's cool that these guys are passionate about what they do, but come on, your brain is not a punching bag !

I'm all for education and awareness - we need to teach our kids (and their parents) about the risks involved . It's like, you know when Luke Skywalker fought Darth Vader? That was some serious Jedi skills right there ... but even he had to think twice before throwing down ! We need to give our young athletes some real-life guidance on how to protect themselves from those devastating head injuries . The fact that Amy's kid is affected by CTE is just heartbreaking ... we can't just sit back and let this happen, right?

I'm really concerned about these sports. I mean, it's like, we know that concussions can be bad news, but apparently we're not doing enough to protect our kids. I've got a cousin who plays football and he's always getting hit in the head, and I'm just worried about him getting CTE or something. It's crazy how much damage these sports can cause. We need to start teaching athletes about safety and how to prevent injuries, like wearing helmets and stuff. And we need to make sure that they're being checked out after every game to make sure they're okay. I don't want my cousin to end up like Davey Browne Jr., you know? It's just not worth the risk.

I mean, what's new? Another bunch of brain damage from playing sports, yeah... like we didn't know that already . But seriously, it's crazy how some people still think wearing a helmet is enough to protect their brains. Newsflash: it's not .

I'm glad they're finally talking about this stuff, but can we please do something about it already? Like, educate parents and coaches or something? It's not like it's rocket science . And what's up with the fact that some of these athletes are still competing despite having CTE? Is it just too easy to say "oh, he's just having a bad day" when in reality they're basically living in a horror movie .

Anyway, kudos to Davey Browne Jr.'s family for speaking out and Amy Lavelle for being a superhero mom . Maybe this will finally get some attention and we can start making some real changes. Fingers crossed ... but let's be real, we've been saying that for years now .
