With a 'Title' like this, one assuming every single English football league team, from 1960 has been researched and all players of that year have had their health conditions documented and recorded to draw such a conclusion.

My girl always told me never let our sons play football or soccer.. That was a good idea until they got into dirt bike racing😂😂

David Cameron when he was prime minister said that there would be a massive increase in dementia, so how could it be because of football as there would have been signs years before that announcement , decades before...

It may not have been a good thing to drink alcohol the night before which was a known ongoing thing even after Gaza's time...Just an added thought...

I get the idea behind the link, but I can't help that it's a bit of a red herring. Nobody mentions if boxers, and there's a massive amateur base, also are above average sufferers. Logic would suggest it would be worse.

@HMQ HMQ The amount of people suffering and dying by painful diseases is probably increasing since people generally live longer to develop such conditions.

actually yes. Evidence of CTE in soccer players has been found. Obviously soccer is a much "softer" soprt than american football, but your brain doesn't improve nonetheless.

Everything will lead to something eventually More and more people are getting dementia because we are living much longer previously we would have died before we got it

😂😂😂. Really, footballers? How about boxers, kick-boxers, mma fighters etc. Many people get dementia etc that haven’t played any sports, many cases are correlation not the cause.
