it looks like football players were no more or less likely to have problems with dementia or mental illness 60+ years later; nor were they more likely to consume too much alcohol. What was different was that they were somewhat more likely to stay physically active (which may have protected them from memory problems as they became older.)

but even in that article they state that football is different today, the players are bigger and stronger and faster
but that doesn't matter right because it doesn't matter if a bigger faster thing collides with a bigger faster thing. its just as bad as a smaller slower thing hitting a smaller slower thing. i mean its science!
my main point of arguing this in the other thread was mainly because im sick of the concussion talk around football, when concussions happen in EVERYTHING. my bumass sister got a concussion from standing up and bumping her head on a shelf. granted she has a weak woman brain so she's more susceptible, but the point being worrying about concussions in youth football is goofy
