But playing football, or taking part in sport/physical activity is not comparable to taking up a lung-cancer inducing habit or living off fast food and drinking too much. It's one of the best things you can do to reduce a whole range of health conditions. With the knowledge we now have, I can't see what's wrong with any sport's governing body making every effort to reduce head injury risk, be that the introduction of protective headgear or, in football's case, phasing heading out of the game. Developing a devastating condition like dementia or alzheimer's as a result of taking part in sport is very different to picking up a physical injury you can make a full recovery from. Those sort of injuries should be the only risks attached to sport, not the loss of cognitive functioning.
