My mom and her dad both have/had Alzheimers, and neither of them played football, or any sport that I know of.
Something is going on, and I don’t think it’s football.
The incidence of peanut, gluton, and other alergies today have seemingly gone through the roof. These kids would have died in the 50s and 60s. Now they’re everywhere.
Seems to me they should broaden their study base and find out why Alzheimer’s incidence is going up across the board. I’m making an assumption here, but I believe it is.
You hear of it a lot more these days.
At any rate, piling on the NFL as an easy target is... well..., just too easy.
Football has a lot of enemies in the Left because they see it as an old throw-back to militaristic mindset. They’d love nothing more than to completely end the sport.
I’d hate to see that happen without a whole lot more research, and confirming conclusions.
No one said concussive force is the only cause of dementia. Try to use reasoning skills.
Did they have rheumatoid arthritis? Just wondering because there was a new study with a correlation. My g-mom had both, and I have the arthritis. My aunt (her daughter) has alzheimers but I haven’t asked if she also had the arthritis.
