🤕 just thinking about it is giving me chills... I mean, athletes are literally putting their lives at risk for the love of the game, and it's heartbreaking 🤯. I feel so bad for Amy Lavelle, having to deal with all that stuff after losing her partner to a brain injury 🤕. It's crazy how quickly boxers can accumulate wealth, but is it really worth sacrificing their health? 💸🥊 it just makes me wonder if sports organizations are doing enough to educate athletes about the risks of head injuries 🤔... they should definitely be more proactive about it 👏
 
I'm so sad to hear about Amy Lavelle's experience 🤕... her husband's injury sounds like a nightmare. I mean, who would want to be a boxer if it means risking your brain health like that? 🤯 I've seen some of the highlights of those fights and they're so intense! But is all that money worth it? I don't know... I guess it's just not something you think about when you're young and full of energy. Does anyone really think about the long-term effects of head injuries when they're like "I'm gonna be a pro boxer"? 🤔 My friend's little brother plays football and he's always getting hurt... but maybe that's just part of the game?
 
I think it's super concerning that these young athletes are putting their brains at risk just for the sake of winning 🤕💔. I mean, we all know that boxers and football players are always gonna get some kind of head injury, but the thing is, those repeated blows can lead to some pretty serious long-term health problems like dementia, Parkinson's, and even depression. It's just not worth it.

And let's be real, these guys are basically making bank while they're still healthy, so it's only fair that they know what they're getting into. I mean, would you want your future self to suffer from all that? 🤔

I think we need to do more to support our athletes, like providing better medical care and education on how to prevent head injuries. It's not just about the athletes themselves, it's about their families too - Amy Lavelle's story is just heartbreaking. We gotta look out for each other, you know? ❤️

It's just crazy thinking about what these boxers are going through behind closed doors 🤕...

I've got a mate who's into football, and I was reading this article about all the risks they face with concussions and whatnot... it really made me think about my own brother 🤕, he played some footy back in the day, but never got into boxing, thank god! Anyway, it just seems like these athletes are making a lot of money, but at what cost? I mean, I get that they're young and want to play the game, but is it really worth risking their brain health for all the fame and fortune 💸? It's crazy to think about how Amy Lavelle's life has been affected by her husband's injuries... depression, anxiety, suicidal thoughts... it's just heartbreaking 😔. I reckon they should definitely be made aware of the risks before they start playing, so they know what they're getting themselves into 🤝.

OMG 😱 I'm so with Amy Lavelle, her story is literally heartbreaking 🤕 my cousin's best friend's little brother was a boxer and he suffered from chronic brain fog after one bad hit... it was like watching him slowly disappear before our eyes 💔 the thing that really gets me is how fast they get paid for fighting... it's just not worth risking your life for that kind of cash 🤑 athletes should be made aware of these risks ASAP, it's not fair to them or their families 💕
 
🤕 I'm so worried about these young athletes putting their brains at risk just for a few bucks 💸. Amy Lavelle's story is heartbreaking - no one should have to go through what she's going through because of her husband's death 💔. The fact that boxers can get rich quick makes it even more baffling why they wouldn't take care of themselves 🤷‍♀️. It's not just about the money, though - their health and well-being are literally on the line 🌟. We need to make sure these athletes are educated on the risks before they start competing, so they can protect themselves and their families 🙏. It's time for a change in the sports world... 💪
 
🤕 the sad thing is that these young athletes are basically throwing away their lives for a few million bucks 🤑. I mean, sure they get to be famous and all that, but at what cost? 💔 Davey Browne Jr's wife has been living with depression and anxiety ever since he died... it's just heartbreaking 😓. we need to start prioritizing the athletes' health and well-being over their bank accounts 🤝. if only they knew about the risks when they started out, maybe things would be different 💡.
 
I'm worried about these young athletes putting their lives at risk for fame and fortune 🤕. Boxers and football players are literally putting their brains on the line every time they step into that ring or field. It's not just the concussions that's a concern, it's all those repeated blows to the head causing long-term damage. I mean, we've seen cases like Amy Lavelle's partner Davey Browne Jr., and it's just heartbreaking. He died after suffering a brain injury, and his wife is still dealing with the emotional trauma. The question is, is the money and fame worth it? 💸🏆 I think athletes should be made aware of the risks before they start their careers, and there needs to be better support systems in place for those who are struggling with the consequences. It's time for a change, and we need to look out for these young people's health and well-being 🤝💪
 
man these boxers are literally putting their lives on the line for a few bucks... i mean dont get me wrong theyre all winners but seriously is it really worth risking a brain aneurysm or something for a career that only lasts like 5 yrs? its not even like they can take care of themselves afterwards, idk how much more mental health issues they have to deal with on top of the physical stuff... and what about their families?! amy lavelle's story is crazy heartbreaking, i cant even imagine living with those kind of thoughts & feelings everyday
 
I'm so concerned about these guys 🤕💔, you know? It's like, they're trying to make it big in the ring and sometimes that comes at a cost 💸. I mean, Amy Lavelle's story is just heartbreaking 🎶. My brother was into sports when he was younger, but I'm glad he stopped because of concussions 🤕, you don't want to mess with your brain like that. It's all about safety and making sure athletes are aware of the risks 💡. They're getting paid millions while risking their brains, it's just not right 😒. I wish more people would talk about this stuff, we need to raise awareness 📢 and make sports safer for everyone 👍.
 
I'm not sure I buy into the idea that boxers are just "wearing themselves out" with all these concussions 🤕. Amy Lavelle's story is a wake-up call, no doubt, but how many of us know what it's like to live with chronic depression and anxiety after losing someone you love? The science on long-term health implications is still pretty sketchy, if you ask me 🧐. And let's be real, boxing is a high-risk sport that's always been associated with brain damage... shouldn't we just accept the risks and move forward? 💪 I'd love to see some more concrete research before we start telling athletes what they can or can't do.
 
I FEEL SO SAD FOR AMY LAVELLE AND HER FAMILY!!!! IT'S JUST NOT RIGHT THAT SHE HAS TO DEAL WITH ALL THESE HEALTH ISSUES AFTER LOOSING HER HUSBAND TO A BOXING MATCH 🤕💔 I mean, we should be supporting our athletes and making sure they know the risks before they start competing. It's not just about winning trophies and making money quickly - it's about their long-term health and wellbeing! 💪 We need to get better at taking care of these guys and giving them the support they need to make informed decisions about their careers. And let's be real, who can afford NOT to take steps to protect themselves from serious head injuries? 🤑 It's just not worth it, in my opinion!
 
🤕 I'm so frustrated thinking about all these talented boxers and football players putting their brains at risk just for a quick buck 💸. Like, is it really worth losing your cognitive function or struggling with depression and anxiety forever? 🤔 It's heartbreaking hearing stories like Amy Lavelle's partner's struggles after his boxing career ended in tragedy.

I think it's time we start taking sports safety seriously, especially when it comes to head injuries 💪. Athletes need access to proper medical care, education on concussion prevention, and support systems to deal with the aftermath of a serious injury. We can't just assume they're 'toughing it out' or that their health is 'no big deal'. It's time for change 🔄.
 
Ugh, can't believe what's happening to these young athletes 🤯💔... I mean, they're basically playing with fire, literally 🔥, when it comes to their brains. And it's not just about the physical damage, but also the mental toll it takes on them and their loved ones. Amy Lavelle's story is just heartbreaking - I mean, can you even imagine living with that kind of weight on your shoulders? The depression, anxiety, suicidal thoughts... it's like, what are they supposed to do with all those emotions bottled up inside? 🤕

And don't even get me started on the whole "quick wealth" thing - is it really worth it if you're going to risk your health and well-being for a few bucks 💸? I mean, come on, folks! We need to be more responsible, more aware of what we're getting ourselves into. Athletes should be educated about the risks from the get-go, not just when they're in their prime or after they've retired 🕰️.

It's like, what's the point of all this fame and fortune if you can't even enjoy your life afterwards? 🤷‍♀️ I'm all for athletes making a living, but not at the expense of their health. We need to start taking care of ourselves, both on and off the field 💪.
 
🤕 I think it's crazy that boxers and football players are basically playing with fire 🏆💥! They know the risks but still put themselves through all that trauma just for a few minutes of fame and fortune 💸. My opinion is that they should be made aware of the long-term health implications from a young age, like, before they even step into the ring or onto the field 🤔. It's not worth risking your brain and life for a quick win or a big payday 🤑. Amy Lavelle's story is just heartbreaking 😩, it shows us that there are real consequences to this sport. We should be supporting our athletes in taking care of their health over money 💪.
