He was diagnosed in a hearing? Was there a doctor on the panel?

My dad got it and died from it. It was indeed terrible. He essentially lost the use of all of his muscles throughout his body.

Why is he throwing in the towel. Parkinson’s can be helped/lessened by natural means and therapies. The body can help itself if given what it needs and there is also God. Medical community has so many people thinking their ways or new drugs are the only answers. God gave us some answers but we doubt them, toss aside. Yes I have known people with Parkinson’s but doctors can be and are at times proven wrong.

"CTE and Me: The NFL Guide To Coverups"

https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2024/07/240715135642.htm

From the journal article at the link (July 2024): Most Parkinson's disease-like symptoms may be caused by Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE), not classic Parkinson's disease.The largest study of CTE to date has found a link between playing contact sports, CTE, and the development of a movement disorder known as Parkinsonism.

In his interview with Megan Kelly, Very good one, she asked him if it was all worth it.
He responded basically that it wasn’t since he walks around day to day with the thought it might be his last.

He vehemently is against tackle football for kids.

There is also a study done in regards to the average age of death of former NFL players. It’s in the 40s and many causes are suicide.

The game has become a barbaric roman style sport. All for money.

Never missed a game

297 consecutive games

Tuff some beach

Parkinson’s is hard

Your mind stays but synapses really get stretched out

My WWII uncle was very dry wit

You’d talk to him and he’d nod and 20 seconds later he’d give the perfect one in a hundred retort like Samuel Clemons or Oscar Wilde

You just slow down and freeze up

I wonder if he could have CTE? There’s been a lot of former football players who developed that, and yes, it’s caused by the roughness of the game.

That’s very sad. Brett Favre was a great quarterback, and is a good man. Some people think that I look like him. And he’s only 54—middle-aged by today’s standards.

He is a Catholic Christian and a Trump supporter.

Research and new treatments for Parkinson’s are ongoing, and he will hopefully benefit from them. Lord have Mercy!

suggested his Parkinson’s diagnosis was caused by concussions during his playing career.

Football and concussions are about leftist politics. That's why no one ever asks what role Brett's admitted alcohol and opioid abuse played.
