did anyone watch this? I thought it was pretty illuminating and of concern to anyone who played competitive football and regularly headed a ball for a living. The subject comes hard on the tail of American Football being scientifically linked to cases of dementia. The thing that struck me most though was the completely inadequate priority that the FA and PFA seem to be placing on how widespread the problem actually is. Obviously there have been high priority cases in Geoff Astle and Nobby Stiles but it seems that is the tip of the iceberg. The US FA have already banned heading in children’s games. Just interested in other blues insight into what may become quite a high profile issue for football over the next period.
