Of course, if he hadn't been a good wrestler he wouldn't have had the brain injuries.
Personally, I don't think discussing brain injuries to athletes is about accessing blame but more about preventing it from happening again. At least, that's what I hope it is about.
As far as killing your family, no not all brain injuries are going to cause this; sometimes they kill themselves, become homeless, get dementia ect. So far, all scary stuff and not stuff I'd like to see people suffer with. I'm not sure of a good way to protect wrestling from brain injuries and still keep the sport popular though. That's a real discussion.
