If true, a great one has been lost. Life after football must be tough.

The San Diego Charges released a statement saying "we pray he's OK."
I have no idea, because every report I heard said there was no note.I've heard conflicting reports of a suicide note - has this been clarified yet?
I sure hope this catapults league action against concussions, and something comes out of the research of his brain donation.
The problem is (assuming there really is a connection between concussion syndrome and depression/suicidal thoughts/etc.... which I know next to nothing about) what kind of 'league action' could possibly be taken beyond what's being done? Better helmets? More restrictive rules? I just don't see how you can significantly reduce concussions in a game as violent as NFL football has become.
I've heard talk they could get rid of the kickoff entirely - that might help - but it would change the game forever. And it would only diminish the risk on those plays - what about every other play where concussion is always a risk?
You haven't joined any rooms.
