In reply to the discussion: is HERSHEL WALKER MENTALLY ILL OR JUST DUMB. [View all]hlthe2b
(114,403 posts)writers would have made a heyday if he had. NO EVIDENCE AT ALL. Most NFL players do not suffer CTE either but it is devastating for those who do. Walker was not playing a position where he was likely to suffer repeated traumatic head injuries throughout his career and the sports writers never wrote about a single incident per the AJC. Beyond that, you can believe what you wish, but there is NOT EVIDENCE. Walker is simply lacking in the intellect and verbal acuity needed to express himself. NO head trauma or undiagnosed TIAs (mini-strokes) or latent brain tumor, undiagnosed toxic exposure, congenital brain vascular abnormality (venous malformation), or any other explanation/excuse required. It boils down to Occam's Razor: the simplest explanation that will account for a circumstance or event is most likely the correct explanation.
