When we think about what causes homelessness we typically think the usual things about how people loose their jobs or deaths in family or a tragic life changes. We don’t really hear of top Athletes becoming homeless and without a place to live . I was reading this article about a former offensive lineman from UNC that was homeless due to what people thought was drugs and alcohol, but his family thought it was from football. In the article they talked about how scientist studied Hoffman the former football players brain and found out that he had stage 2 C.T.E or also called chronic traumatic encephalopathy which causes problems like depression, short-term memory loss, lack of impulse control, irritability and mood swings. This disease has stages that range from 0-4 on the severity level, Hoffman was diagnosed with various mental illness and manic depression. Hoffman after being diagnosed with the C.T.E continued to live on the street, He is now dead he rode is bike into oncoming traffic on a poorly lighted road in Haines City, Florida in November, hid died on the way to the hospital after colliding head on with traffic on his bike. His Mom didn’t think that  he killed himself or tried to she thought it was the C.T.E and all the head injuries he got while playing football that made him this way and ended up homeless. For me being a football player its crazy to think that this can possibly happen not only to me but to other friends i care about. We tend to think that being homeless comes from money and other tragic things in peoples lives we do not think that it can happen because of football or sports. After reading this article it made me think about how anyone and everyone is at risk of possibly becoming homeless.
