There is no evidence of anything that causes ALS and certainly no proof that football has anything to do with it. My best friend died of ALS and he never played FB but was a basketball player. The lack of awareness of what causes the disease and the lack of a cure is truly amazing given how long the medical community has known of the disease.

Sad.
It's nice to see though how Eddie D is still there for these guys all these years later. Whether it be Solomon, BY, Clark etc, it shows how much he cares about these guys.

Eddie D is the best. He truly treated his players like family.
