Pugilistic Dementia

i agree, and will boxers ever form a union? although i understand the pressures not to on them, but still, is there another major, dangerous sport without one?

 

Could you please repeat that in English? atsch

I say that because there might be a connection with blows to the head and ALS, in the same manner with Parkinsons.

That article mentions a link between ALS and brain trauma.

 

u want it in inglish ? u have a more detailed Xplanation in wikipedia . don't blame me if u won't get that 1 either .

i read d article u posted a link 2 until (Pay attention that there is) a paragraph there named "A.L.S. in the N.F.L." . It does not have a paragraph named "A.L.S. in the Boxing" . Wonder Y .
Its occurrence in NFL as opposed 2 its rarity in "boxing" , where d head gets punched on a regular basis , and admittedly i know nothing about NFL and don't care , only solidifies my claim that ALS is not caused by brain quakes but rather by genetics and/or chemicals .
Again , how many Xamples of fighters that had ALS can u name ? Charles , LeDoux , and ?

and 2d topic of that article , as opposed 2 its suggestion , my xplicit belief is that Lou Gehrig had ALS and not something similar . Both according 2d symptoms that he had and according 2 "my" theory which at least appeared in wikipedia if not still does .
wikipedia had its more balanced and realistically scoped list of Xamples . Just read about it there , wikipedia > that article u posted a link 2 .
