Football = Brain Damage

A doctor has come forward to state that football headers have the potential to cause brain damage, as printed in Thursday’s Glasgow Daily Record. Psychologist Dr Douglas Potter, Senior Lecturer at Dundee University, has been studying up on football and rugby players, and says that even as few as five years playing ball can have an affect on the function of brainwaves.

“[I]t looks like, in footballers, the brain activity signal is quite reduced in cases of shifting attention.”

Thanks, doc. Footballers aren’t the brightest wits in the box, eh?
