In the past few days two prominent British footballers of decades past have confirmed they are suffering from dementia, part of a growing pattern and one known to be linked to heading. A recent report suggests/confirms that there's little reason to suspect that the problem will go away once retired players from after the age of the leather ball start moving into the danger zone, largely because as balls got lighter the amount of heading increased as did the numbers of areas on the head that the ball can realistically be headed using.

It would be for the best if this embarrassment ends in total failure and fiasco, frankly.
