Your "point" was football doesn't cause ALS. While certainly correlation doesn't always equal causation, the 6-8x prevalence of ALS in former football players suggests otherwise.

I said I don't think football causes ALS, which is the case. Next you google does football cause ALS and find an article that you read only the first couple paragraphs. You then take a sentence out of that article, without reading the whole thing, and try to prove me wrong. Then you try to say ALS is the same as CTE and youre wrong again.
From your own article you posted;
"Why the increased risk?"
"Because, suggest leading brain researchers, what they’re being diagnosed with mimics ALS — but is a different disorder: one that stems from repetitive brain trauma."
