Chronic traumatic encephalopathy aka brain injuries aka multiple concussions

They’re implying that it’s the result of head trauma suffered during his playing career but it could just be he’s a shit person.

Isn’t he from Alberta, which is quite conservative?

[–] Foregone_Premise@lemmy.world 6 points 3 days ago

He's from my home town Brantford, Ontario. Not a particularly conservative place.

I don’t know, I’m only Canadian lite (Minnesotan) and was just answering the question. If I remember correctly he was a pretty big supporter of George Bush in the 00s so I’d assume he’s always a been pretty conservative and that’s likely only gone further right with age and more wealth.

His family is very much Ukrainian too. Sad indeed.
