I acknowledge that football probably played a part in the brain problems that many players are suffering. I am curious about the millions of others who get Alzheimer’s, sometimes much younger and never having played football. I would also be interested in seeing the stats on elder football players who don’t have cognitive problems. Just want some perspective on this issue.
Agreed.
Something also that occurs to me is that athletes tend to have much different dietary habits than non-athletes, I’ve often wondered if that plays a role as well.
Yes. What are the stats when compared to the population at large, the racial peer group, that generation, diet, heredity...lots of variables.
