Football Injuries and post-career health

In a story on the effects of concussions and sports injuries on football players, the case of Ted Johnson leaves the New York Times and football players " questioning whether their serious health issues are related to injuries they sustained and the treatment they received as players".

Having watched the football hall of fame ceremonies for years during my time spent in Canton and in Akron, I unfortunately have the answer for these players.

Yes, your post-career health issues are related to injuries you sustained as players.

This has been simple answers to simple questions.
