Wednesday, a study published in the medical journal Neurology indicated professional football players are three times more likely than the general public to have neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s and ALS. Players in speed positions like wide receivers and running backs were three times more likely to develop the diseases. Studies have linked concussions in football players to chronic traumatic encephalopathy, a neurodegenerative disease with Alzheimer’s like symptoms including memory loss, depression and mood swings.
