[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The study showed the effect were remedied post season. The recommendation is for a break after an event (or a season). This shows the brain heals. [/quote] This study from Johns Hopkins, however, has shown that in ex-football players a brain repair protein known as TSPO remains elevated for years after they stop playing and that players' learning and cognition is affected even after they quit. https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamanetworkopen/fullarticle/2811069 I think it is obvious at this point that football damages the brain and can make you stupid. It's just like getting punched in the head thousands of times per week with all of the practices and games. Still mind blowing parents will let their small children and adolescent kids play the game no matter how much data comes out showing it is hurting their brains.[/quote]
