Fans reach to Chandler Jones getting arrested

Fans on Reddit are often much more analytical and brutal. Here, the UFC and NFL fandoms came together to analyze the situation as critically as possible and almost no one had a kind thing to say.

“He’s clearly having a mental health issue or suffering from severe cte”

“Football and MMA are careers that are conducive to CTE”

“Is there alot of head to head impact in American football?”

CTE stands for Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy, a brain condition that occurs because of repeated injuries or blows to the head. When ‘Bones’ first got arrested for the hit-and-run, Joe Rogan implied that the fighter’s impulsive life choices may be a result of his brain trauma.

“he’s losing his mind, shit is sad to see”

“I was gonna ask this on the thread, damn sucks to hear. Hope he’s alright. Out of all the brothers he appears to be the most athletically gifted”

Meanwhile, other fans looked at the incident with some more empathy than others. On the other hand, some fans were there just to pull a leg.

“That’s normal if you play for the raiders”

“Give him a UFC contract let’s see what he’s got. It runs in the family”
