2:35 am
football. oh, hard wise care. just say ah oh, he was yelling for his grandfather. oh. and he is bad, which will read hathaway, who are both deceased i mean that those things right there were every day every day, least 6 months. that bad. carlton was one of nearly 5000 in the bill players who sued delete more than a decade ago. i am from us, martha, all the same claim, which was like,
2:36 am
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 when there's been rational. harris thinks of us, are you gonna pay that? and you have 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 and a responsible fashion. that will, will be able to come back before you at some point in time and say that we have addressed these in a way this response. yet fall is like the richest, almost half of sports like united states and american football is also very popular at the youth level. chic lane, american high schools. you rock, you're flying around and it's just such a, such a place of exalted americana. i think what the front the nfl was under. do you lose
2:37 am
that place of cultural primacy as america sport. after years of pressure in 2013, the nfl reached a settlement with carlton and thousands of other players agreed to make payouts to players of brain to cease charlie though in a week's top official went on t v. to talk about it, he made sure to emphasize it, the nfl was not responsible for c t e among its players. and what we were able to do was all compromise on our physicians. there was no admission of guilt. there was no recognition that anything was correspond football, but the reality is we want to help our players. and when you heard there was a settlement that 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 now? the natal had settled that everybody was going to get what was owed to them. but carlton never got any settlement money or medical assistance from the concussion settlement. and neither had thousands of other retired in the phil players. the
2:38 am
settlement was never designed to pay former and i fell players for what they were suffering from. as a result of playing football. never designed that way. it's a sham. if the ass i was gone was like get the south and do cycle. so people aren't thinking about these depressing stories of damaged former players. and also not thinking about general half of all causes brain damage. because us operate for our product either. and we can take those out. the news. huge when for us as nfl did 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 hassle. rig in the light blue is ranked number 2 in the country in some way saw that carlton hassle ricks rode to didn't. a fell was improbable as he doesn't do it
2:39 am
on a quick door. that was school. he started out as a wrestler, winning 6 individual college championships. the most of any one in history was pretty well it's been around. baldwin was the best of the best. there's no doubt about it. you knew there were some 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 goes record is it, don't worry by don't worry about it when you play in a value plan in a real he plays in the nfl on his bike 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
2:40 am
blog. i tell everybody when he was he was michael jordan. what's around here? wondering, met 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 am it made you believe in yourself? i mean, carlton had 3 kids. can tara c, j? this is an order. and then carly, he always thanked me so much for given 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 them. he will fix their bikes. he would do anything, he would work on the yard. he would bar b cue. he was just that all american dad carlton left it in a felon. 1996 in the years after he was
2:41 am
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, mike yelling something, but we wouldn't know what. and then sometimes he would just go away and leave and i won't 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?
2:42 am
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 yahoo route carlton told his family, he played the problems he was having were caused by head trauma. he suffered while playing and nfl. this is carlton house rings, helmet of from last year. he did, did play for the steals, said the deep gout, his deep girl, just a deep growl, just full. when i looked at it and saw initially, i thought about his in his brain, his head b, bruce because of the block force that he got plane a position. the brain itself doesn't have any nerve endings to feel pain and pain receptors. and so would they
2:43 am
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 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 seemingly nowhere. when you talk to the families and loved ones of these guys, and they will say that like he's a toy. different person, i don't know what happened. how many nfl players do you think we'll develop c t
2:44 am
from what we've learned since we started looking for? is that percentage number of the people that do end up with it seems to be climbing the more we look them when we fun. oh, in our reporting we kind of started the piece something together and i'm just going to show you what you think of it for this us. we're 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 so me that's actually this is carlton here. yeah. he played right guard into his right as a media. right. just sterling. so that was his friend, that 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
2:45 am
husband was ferry. these guys were number 3 and 4 city, but they discovered here 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. i mean, ah,
2:46 am
me. oh wow, that's what the and was like. yes leather. this was the bill maher b. o. o o o o 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. and is there any doubt in your mind where he would have gotten c t?
2:47 am
i know where he got c t from where? papa, the nfl. o c t e can only be diagnosed definitively. once a person stood out and their brain has been examined. since 2200 more than 300 in it though players had been found to have had the disease. michelle donate occultist brain to the c t e center boston university. it was one of carlton's dying wishes. and why did he want to donate it 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,
2:48 am
would obviously get compensated since he died or what the settlements really about, right? no, he wouldn't be compensated. but it, but if he died, it's proven that he had c t well, he went to cobb and said, you had to have died and fruit have cta betraying. i believe it's 262015. that's the window. i mean, to me, it's one of the great crimes with a subtle net 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 under a 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
2:49 am
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 alzheimers. 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 2073 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 tests yet. and this is the,
2:50 am
the test from the neurologist that you shared with us executive functioning. they said his impairment, level none, language, impairment, levels, none. visual perceptual processing impairment level none. learning and memory functioning, impairment a lot. this is from true to you. and his wife responses suggested that mr. house reg has generally subtle function difficulties in daily life. somebody put their laundry in a freezer. that's 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 that league was factoring and race when diagnosing players with cognitive
2:51 am
impairment. they used a process called race, 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 them. like any other neurologists or neural play colleges to explain to you that your scores will be adjusted based on the factor in african american mel that dental. absolutely not. carlton what the did. absolutely not. what is the software specific to the settlement?
2:52 am
it is assigned to the settlement 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 to adjust the scores to see what the scores will look like if you were white. so if we took res, norms out, these would be carlton scores here at the data direct changes while labels are of his are totally different. yeah, these are totally different severe impairment that 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
2:53 am
a little from what why did they do this to him? to say that my husband wasn't sick because once they said that and he read that, he believed that he said they know what to do. 130 and i failed the good doctor's and how do you think that impacted the outcome? good theory that no mm honey. nearly a year after carlton's death and june 2021, the nfl pledged it would no longer this race, norms and testing. the leak also said it would review cases of former black players
2:54 am
who have been race no. 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 or the nfl about them readjusting his scores and reconsidering his case? no, i feel that it should be the easiest case because like from what i'm looking at this paperwork, 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 that 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
2:55 am
speak. i have $5.00 to my ne as it is the settlement a 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 that carlton received. dr. golden till fall lines. the inner bills influence goes beyond race norman menu, the doctors who determine whether a player qualifies for an award are paid by the nfl that he was one of them. they put pressure on us to change their, our mind. 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, you may not get, refer, no question. i had a case that the neurologist that i agree on the diagnosis,
2:56 am
the nfl came back and said no, you're wrong. you have to change the diagnosis. i said no, that was our diagnosis. that was our opinion. as 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 in the phil about doctor goldens allocation. needed the commissioner nor the week spokesperson responded to our list of questions or requests for an interview. on the verge of losing her home, michelle is making that difficult decision to sell some carlton's memorabilia. are you going to sell this metal? i don't want to, but it comes with this. you're going to sell this with that. ah, michelle ah,
2:57 am
in september i company michelle to the 1st home game of the season for the pittsburgh steelers 25 years later. carlton's name still strikes the court with the fans. how you are my and he said half forward and i turned around and was like, all last my husband i tell he was in there's a great man. you have a question. i'm proud that they know my has 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 gun. some people don't want it. they'd rather not know. yeah, they don't want to know why, because they love the game. ah, roy, hold accountable. all of us. because we're the ones who are football. we're
2:58 am
the ones ultimately to make the nfl be accountable by demanding it be safer on the front end of that take care of people who get damage on the battery and for the most hartley demand. neither are we to man. is that for bobby, on our televisions, our 5 us no stance. they play that we be entertain. ah ah
2:59 am
3:00 am
that the rush will follow and traveled to algeria to discover how fool played a key role in shaping the country from its struggle for liberation to the 2019 protest. the political reform generation football episode on al jazeera and a korean reporting to the world in one journalist documents life beyond the headlines. ah, but certain stories can change us easiest. please use a history. it turned into a unique journey into what it means to be human. the things we keep a witness documentary on al jazeera. ah the military is.
