grocery store, he might be sitting at the stadium. i was stadium thinking, it's ready for practice. he accidentally put a dirty laundry in the fraser and thought it was the wash. she said, i told you, i told you i have it. i have it. yeah. what. busy c t. busy busy busy busy busy busy michelle hassle riggs, husband carlton s, rick was an all pro one for the pittsburgh steelers in new york jets in the 1990s. for years he suspected he had chronic, traumatic and supple up at the mercy t. i want to show you something a degenerate a brain disease, the scientists believe is endemic to the came professional football. oh i heard how hard wise care.

ah. oh, he was yelling for his grandfather. oh. and his dad, which was for both of those days, right there were every day every day, least 6 months. that bad cotton was one of nearly 5000 in the bill players who su delete more than a decade ago. i am for most part they all have the same claim, which was like, we were not told about this risk not only were not told about it, but you know, you, the nfl actually like covered up the stress. there's been congressional hearing for

us. are you going to pay that and your players and their families, but the injuries that they have received and helping you to be a multi $1000000000.00 operation? that's the only question i believe that we will be addressing these matters in a responsible fashion. that will, will be able to come back before you at some point in time and say that we have address these in a way that response fall is like the rochester most powerful sports work. united states and american football is also very popular at the use level chicken and american high schools. you wrap your fog around and it just such a such a place of exulted americana. i think with the front, the nfl was under. do you lose that place of cultural primacy as america sport? after years of pressure in 2013, the natal reached

a settlement with carlton and thousands of other players agreeing to make payouts to players of brain disease. charlene, leagues top official, went on t v to talk about differences, he made sure to emphasize that the nfl was not responsible for c t e among his players. and what we were able to do with all compromise on our positions. there was no admission of guilt. there was no recognition that anything was caused by football. but the reality is we want to help our players and when you heard that was a settlement. did you think that's a good thing? i did absolutely into carlton. yes we did really did. what do you think was going to happen? melton f l had settled that everybody was going to get what was out to the the carlton never got any settlement money or medical assistance from the concussion settlement. and neither had thousands of other retired and fell players. the settlement was never designed to pay former nfl players for what they were suffering from as a result of playing football. never designed that way. it's

a sham. if he off, our goal was like get the saw the do cycle. so people aren't thinking about these depressing stories of damaged former players and also not thinking about general ha, football causes brain damage. because that's not great for our prod either. if we can take those out, the news. huge when for us as nfl did the nfl take responsibility for the damage inflicted on its players? or was this settlement intended to deflect public attention and protect the future of america's most powerful sports, leak esl rig. in the light blue is ranked number 2 in the country in some way saw that carlton hassle ridge road to didn't a phil was improbable as he doesn't do it on a quick double. that was school. he started out as a wrestler, winning 6 individual college championships, the most of any one in history research,

as well as what around walton was the best of the best. there was no doubt about it. you knew there was something special about him when he decided he wanted to play football professionally, caught and tried out, and was drafted by his beloved pittsburgh steelers in 1989. a growing up my early heroes were at that time. all of the pittsburgh steelers bought or were dog and go to court as it. don't worry by, don't worry about it. you play in a value plan in of real. he plays in the nfl despite come from college, with no football program. that's where he became a guy playing the pro bowl. miss amazing and provo guard calden has already great blog. i tell everybody when he was he was michael jordan. what's around here? one of them meant the strongest mentally tough person that i've ever been around. people were talking about his physical strength is mental toughness was something

that i seen that stood alone from other anybody else in an it made you believe in yourself? to me in carlton had 3 kids. can tara c. j? this is an order. and then carly, he always thanked me so much for giving him these children. he was a good father. he was funny. anything that i needed him to do, he would do without question. he would play with all the kids in the block. they loved him. he will fix their bikes. he would do anything, he would work on the yard. he was bar b cue. he was jeff, that all american dad carlton left the nfl in 1996 in the years after he was a football and wrestling coach. well right now, i'm coaching a high school football for the greater johnstown high school and also assistant

wrestling coach for greater johnston high school. i'm just so pleased and happy to be back at home and have the opportunity to work with the kids here. hm. when did you start to notice a change in him? some times carl 10 would go off on his own and he would drink or he would talk to himself or be in the basement. you can hear him like yelling something, but we wouldn't know what. and then sometimes he would just go away and leave and i went to see him for a day. will harris coach rustling carlton and remember seeing the change in him in 2017 when they went to the state championship. every bit of downtown that we had he spent alone in his room, lights all, you know, no tv, no found no, nothing just you know, just in a, a was it was like he was, it was like, he was sick or he was down for you are super carlton told his family,

he bleed the problems he was having were caused by head trauma he suffered while playing and nfl. this is carly, hassle rings. helman of from last year. he bid did play for the steals, said the deep gout, his deep girl, just a deep growl, juice in full. when i looked at it and saw initially, i thought about his in his brain, his head being bruce because of the block force that he got plaintiff position. the brain itself doesn't have any nerve endings to feel pain in pain receptors. and so would they just keep on getting more and more close to the brain concussions or just at the surface of what seen,

what about hit after hit after hit with the brain moving around. and all of the research so far indicates that it's the repetitive nature of the blows that lead to risk for later life disease, including c, t, the mode and behaviors. sometimes that are huge bar sit here, anger irritability side, ality like you can't hold a job because you're explosive now, or all of a sudden like you've been a sober person all your life and now you just love drinking and you're a compulsive gambler and that's come out of almost scenery nowhere. when you you talk to the families and loved ones of these guys and they will say that like, he's a totally different person. i don't know what happened. how many adult players do you think? we'll develop c t from what we've learned since we started looking 1st year. is that percentage number of the people that do not prefer it seems to be climbing the

more we look them when we find ah, in our reporting we kind of started a piece something together. and i'm just going to show you what you think of it with us us for 74 names terry long and he is who carlton replaced. he's the one who failed. right? guard comes out. that's right. he drank antifreeze. this to me. that's actually, this is problem here. yeah. he played right guard into his right as a media. right. just sterling. so that was his friend as his friend. you know what happened to justin? he drove into a fuel tanker, 90 miles an hour and died. and i remember the day it happened because my husband was very sad. these guys were number 3 and 4 city, but they discovered it. they were all together playing the same mind. what does

that tell you? and the months before carlton died, michelle began recording videos of him. okay. so i started all these recordings. so people would believe me, nobody would believe me or he had cirrhosis at his liver disease, but he thought he was okay. you brain tells you what to do. so his brains thinking, telling him that he's fine. so he doesn't want to go to the hospital. he was mad at me because we were trying to make him go to the doctors. oh i mean i me oh wow. that's what band was like. yes,

this was the day of march. oh oh. oh. oh. oh, carlton died a month later on july 22nd 2020 was 54. and is there any doubt in your mind what caused that decline? there is no doubt my mind what caused it recline what caused it. c t. as or any doubt in your mind, where he would have gotten c t. i know where he got c t from where papa, the nfl c t e can only be diagnosed definitively. once

a person stood in their brain has been examined. since 2200 more than 300 in it. though players had been bound to have had the disease. michelle delane occultist brain to the c t e center at boston university. it was one across who's dying wishes. and why did he want it donated to boston c t for the concussion lawsuit? and that we would be taken care of because we were told with a settlement if you had c, t e, there was there who, that was the the most did you would get paid for which was $5000000.00. if his brains tested and if he s c t, his wife michelle, would obviously get compensated since he died or what the settlement really about, right? no,

he wouldn't be from say the but if he died it's proven that he had c t well, he went to compensate. you had to have died of fruit have city betraying. i believe it's 262015. that's the window. i mean, to me, it's one of the great crimes of the settlement that there was cut off date. if you have c, t e and did not die before 2015. and they take your brain and they look at her microscope. and they 5 c t. you're out a lot. i'm sorry you didn't die before 2015. good luck to you and your family. how much money did an a bell save? by cutting c t out of the settlement? we imagine that over the 65 year period that this would have been in place anywhere conservative estimates are 3000000000 dollars, and moore, probably realistic benefits, are somewhere around $7000000000.00. the settlement has paid out nearly

$1000000000.00 to retire players and covers 3 neuro degenerative diseases ale this parkinson, cities, and all timers. 1000000000 sounds like a very impressive number. that is, unless it's supposed to be 8 or $9000000000.00 for former nfl players who believe they have or might develop c t, the nfl concussion settlement designed to set a test to measure cognitive impairment. carlton took these tests in 2017, 3 years before he died. if these tests confirm the carlton was cognitively impaired, he would have qualified for an award from the nfl concussion settlement. he didn't qualify for anything, nothing based on their test. yes. and this is the, the test from the neurologist that you shared with us executive functioning. they said his impairment levels, none, language impairment, levels,

none. visual perceptual processing impairment level none. learning and memory functioning, impairment the large. this is from true to you. his wife responses suggested that mr. house reg has generally subtle function difficulties and daily life. somebody put their laundry in a freezer, that subtle, somebody doesn't know how to where to go get his coffee. that he been getting it for laugh. 152030 years. that subtle, it would take several years for michelle to learn what happened with carlton's tests in 2019 to former players, sued the nfl for discrimination, claiming leak was factoring and race when diagnosing players with cognitive impairment. the used to process called raced. norman carlton and other retired black players had to score significantly worse on their tests to qualify for an

award from the nfl. it means that they have determined that if you are born black, that you have less cognitive function from birth than your white counterpart. it is used to deny benefits x, not economically for 70 percent of the class. 70 percent of former players had black in an industry where the wealth was built on the backs of black and brown men . we didn't know none of that. like any other neurologist or neural play call just to explain to you that your scores will be adjusted based on the factor in african american mel. that until absolutely not carlton what the day. absolutely not. what is the software specific to the settlement? it is a 2nd to the thalman using the nfl concussion settlement software. dr. eric watson at the brain injury research center at mount sinai hospital was able to show us the

impact race had on carlton's ability to qualify for an award from the nfl in generating the scores. it's easy enough tail and just the scores to see what the scores will look like if you were white. so if we took race norms out, this would be carlton scores here. did these are the direct changes while labels are of his are totally different. yeah, these are totally different severe impairment that was nothing was severe impairment on the other one. no. i mean this is a quantum difference, not a small difference. a train someone's like a completely different person, right? with one click of a button, you go from a man who is qualified for part of the settlement to manners. not absolutely. no. wow. look at the numbers. not even a little. so why. why

did they do live to him? to say that my husband wasn't sick because once they said that and he read that, he believed he said they know what to do on 30 and it failed. the good doctor's and how do you think that impacted the outcome? really? theory that no mm oh honey. nearly a year after carlton's death and june 2021, the nfl pledged it would no longer use race, norms and testing. the week also said it would review cases of former black players who had been raised normed. but a year later, many retire black players in their families are still waiting to hear it. they will now receive an award from the settlement. have you heard anything from lawyers and

i feel about them readjusting the scores and where he considering his case? no, i feel that it should be the easiest case because like from what i'm looking at as paper work, this is proof right here. while he was alive, carlton received a pension from the nfl. this was money, the family depended on for years. that source of income stopped the day carlton died. talk to me about what's going on while you're waiting. i'm about to be homeless soon. i have nothing. i have nothing. i'm losing everything. but i'm going to be honest with you. right now as we speak. i have $5.00 to my may that's what i did. is the settlement of betrayal of the players. oh yes,

dr. charles golden said he evaluated more than $160.00 former nfl players for the concussion settlement. given these retired players, the same battery of tests, the carlton received, dr. golden till fall lines. the nfl influence goes beyond race normal menu, the doctors who determine whether a player qualifies for an award or paid by the nfl this. he was one of them. they put pressure on us to change their our minds. and when you refused, they put increased pressure on you. they never said we will cut you off. but you're always aware that if you irritate them you're, you may not get referrals, you know, question. i had a case that the neurologist and i agree on the diagnosis. the nfl came back and said no, you're wrong. you have to change the diagnosis. i said though that was our diagnosis. that was our opinion. and they went after the neurologist and they got

the neurologist change her opinion. and as a consequence, the client lost all compensation. oh, we asked the nfl about doctor golden delegation. needed the commissioner nor the leak spokesperson responded to our list of questions or requests for an interview. on the verge of losing her home, michelle was making the difficult decision to sell some carlton's memorabilia. or you can sell the metal. i don't want to but it comes with this. you're going to sell this with. ah, michelle. ah, in september i company and michelle to the 1st home game of the season for the pittsburgh steelers 25 years later. carlton's name still strikes

a court with the fans. how you are my and he said, half oregon. i turned around and was like, all last my husband. i tell him he was in. there's a great man. you have a question. i'm proud that date. now my hasn't been that's what really hurt my feelings today. when most of the people looked at me in shock, when i told them that i haven't received the don. some people don't want to know. they'd rather not know. yeah, they don't want to know why. because they love the game right, hold accountable. all of us. because we're the ones who love football. we're the ones ultimately to make the i'll be accountable by demanding it be safer on the

front end of that take care of people who get damaged on the backup and for the most partly demand never read a man is that football be on our televisions? are 5 us no stance they play that may be entertained? oh, jumping to the street when no topic is off the table. i don't think that anybody should be borne to privilege to the president of the day. we are the subjects of little family plus one person's opinion, but what's yours? amplify your voice. the judicial system in mexico is incredibly weak and it is not just corruption where a global audience becomes a global community. though scariest part of this moment in my country is this toys for a more weapon?
