Multiple Concussions In Sports

Picture your favorite player from your team out for the season because of multiple concussions. This is said mostly the NFL. It is dangerously increasing players chances of getting diagnosed with the diseases CTE’s and ALS. Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis or ALS is caused by overtime head trauma and concussions. Lou Gehrig was the first ever known athlete to get diagnosed and died this disease. Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy are multiple diseases like Alzheimer's. Athletes and fans should be more aware of how dangerous and risky this situation is. Once diagnosed with these diseases, the victim's days are numbered this is a realist death sentence. There is no cure and it spreads ruthlessly through the victim killing it physically and emotionally. There
are sporting complains should not be changing the rule of the games but should be awarding the public and plays on how dangerous this is. Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis or better known as ALS. In medical terms meaning “a progressive Neuro genetic disease that affects the nerve cells in the brain to the spinal cord”. Is known for making the patient a vegetable person. With no control over anything in their body but the brain, the person sees everything that is happening in their life and can't do anything about it. They need a 24 hour caregiver because without one they will die. Even the most basic routines are the hardest struggle. In need of a machine to breath and a tube in their stomachs to eat, the patient struggles to survive. Major weight loss and loss of muscle are some other symptoms that happen as well as twitching, muscle spasms, and stiff muscles. The most people at risk are sports players growing up playing the sport they love, they later affect themselves. Average age for a sports player is around 29-31. They don't know that they are getting this disease until it fully develops and it is too late. Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy or CTE is caused by repetitive blows to the head. It is considered a rare condition still not understood by doctors and the symptoms are hard to live with. There are multiple disorders to this disease. alzheimer's, down syndrome. This disease was known as dementia pugilistica. It an extreme condition that kills the brain. The most risked sports players are boxers, with several hundreds of hits to their head. This cause huge amounts of head trauma which affects them later in life. Boxers at the age of 40 often start to get memory loss due to the hits they receive. The most unlikely boxers get this chronic disease that kills them. The reason why doctors believe that sport athletes are getting these diseases is because of head trauma. In other words, repetitive blows to the head. Contact sports such as Football, Boxing, Soccer and Hockey are being changed to protect the athletes. Concussions are a huge play in this disease. It develops brain injuries, making the brain bounce off the skull, causing the brain cell death. Players growing up playing their sport increases their chances of getting diagnosed. Early head injuries later develop into big injuries that sooner or later lead to the athlete's retirement. Then, once retired they get diagnosed with the disease. Averaged around 33 years of age the athlete would most likely be diagnosed and usually given 10-15 more years to live. Some less because they're not really living by 9 just struggling to survive. Sport players often get hard hits to their head, but don't care because they want to keep playing. Out of a helmet to helmet, tackle ,or a header goal. Players hit their head, sometimes so hard that their brain hit the side of their skull and damages the brain. After years and years of hitting their head buildup of dead brain cells begins to happen. Unaware of what's happening the player continues doing what he or she loves and later on in life finds out what has happened the regret no resting. Players when being taken out because of a concussion should read more than they are told no matter how bad he or she wants to play. Rest is crucial to their recovery. Soccer Star Cristiano Ronaldo has the highest average of scoring goals with his head. He told Bein Sports that after every game he rests his head not wanting later on problem with any of the diseases. The Portuguese star has the highest record of goals with his head and at the age of 33 he is at risk of this chronic disease. He warns his young adversaries to be careful and be aware of how their conditions are.
Another sports player who knows about these disease is young retired chris borland.
At only the age of 24 he is the youngest player in football to ever retire. The linebacker said he was getting multiple head trauma and doesn't wanna risk his future. He played for the San Francisco 49ers of 2 seasons when Patrick Willis was out on injury Borland stepped in and took charge of the team. He lead the team in tackles. The sports world influences a lot of protection. They make new rules every year to be safer. Some people think that it's bad some say its good. For now the rules are good but later on it will cause future problems. I think the sports world should leave the sports how they are, but educate the players, staff and the public look out for themselves. In order to make the sport world safer, they should educate the people of these diseases. Make no new rules just let them play and when hit talk them out and let them rest. Circumstances are high this is a very bad disease which has people suffering. There is no cure and nobody knows much about these diseases. They are not understood and more and more athletes are getting diagnosed. We should have everyone educated and put funding to find a cure to this
disease.
