I grew up with him. He’s such a nice guy. I’m proud of him for taking his mental health seriously 😀

Just telling he was a nice guy growing up. That isn’t always the case.

That's great, wishing him all the best and fantastic to open up; as should everyone.

He was a noticeably different person after the Darrent Williams tragedy.

How so?

He and Darrent Williams were pretty close. Marshall definitely had a diva personality and some off field issues. Williams was shot and literally died in his arms. He seems to be a much more humble and down to earth person since then.

I still remember the photo of either him or might have been Javon Walker, going into the facility the very next morning or either straight after it happened with blood all over his white shirt, awful stuff.

Edit: it was Walker nsfw

Loved this guy as a player. Dude was so talented, and also misunderstood. He was the first athlete i can remember that was bringing mental health awareness to the forefront.

Hmmm, that photo of him looks like an add. Yup, he’s just selling his new app.

I wouldn’t trust Marshall any further than I could throw him…

He took part in the Dr Disrespect event the Friday before the Super Bowl earlier this month. He was the most childlike man I’ve seen, ever. Smacking the ball out of his opponents hand when it was his turn, running in front of the target to block his opponents throw, his words made zero sense. Somebody needs to watch this guy and get him some help. He was embarrassing to watch. The cringey feeling.

"Radical" simply means a large departure from the norm. It doesn't have any judgmental or political meaning. Men—especially black men—are discouraged or even punished when they're open about their mental health, so what Marshall is doing can be seen as radical.

Interesting how taking a life has an effect on ones mental health

autoreaction t1_j91nelr wrote

Because someone wanted to kill Marshall and shot someone else on accident is Marshall taking a life? What are you talking about?

Didn't know anything about this but if the story I read is accurate, then no he isn't and fuck you for even suggesting it.

"You would not be wrong to call the murder of Darrent Williams a simple case of mistaken identity. The evidence suggests that Little Willie meant to open fire on Marshall's limousine -- that he thought the white Hummer was Marshall's limousine. The trial judge found this a likely explanation, and so did Marshall when he talked to the police. While educated guesses can be made about how this knowledge affected Marshall (an ESPN report showed he had some 12 encounters with police in the 27 months after the shooting, most of them domestic disturbances), it didn't stop him from becoming a superstar. Darrent Williams's friends believed Williams was destined for the Pro Bowl. Brandon Marshall went instead, and last year he signed a five-year deal with the Dolphins worth more than $47 million." https://www.browardpalmbeach.com/news/is-brandon-marshall-responsible-for-the-murder-of-former-teammate-darrent-williams-6464159

How in the world is he responsible?

Yeah, usually the ones who have shit takes are the same ones who don’t care how many people think they’re wrong. Probably from years of training, eh?

He killed it on the Chicago Bears though. It’s a rare player who is better at the end of their career than the beginning.

stewbottalborg t1_j91cm21 wrote

He was great at the start of his career in Denver as well. If he had been more healthy mentally, I think he could’ve been an all-timer.

The popular thing to do here is to downvote you into the chasms of this thread where your dumb claims cant harm anyone but you.

Only 25% of black individuals seek mental health treatment as compared to 40% of white individuals.

His example is a powerful one, especially to the black community.

yeah it’s actually quite important when a person who comes from a community similar to yours, looks like you, and is someone that many people look up to shares that it’s okay to be vulnerable and it doesn’t make you weak to seek help

no one is “making it about race,” they’re simply notating a fact that’s relevant to the situation
