We will now get the usual raft of experts saying dementia among football players is a result of heading a football.

How about all of those dementia sufferers who never got near a football in their lives?

Why can’t it be both. The amount of Dementia among footballers of a certain age is pretty damming of course more research needs done. But we now have  concussion Subs being trialed in England. I think it’s safe to say it’s worth looking into. Balls are now so much lighter now than when people like McQueen played I am sur you will remember the heavy leather balls I certainly do which were even worse. 
pretty sure it doesn’t have to be one type against the other as I said

That’s it we all just got on with it. But times are changing personally if looking into this more can help anyone who gets this I am all for it
