There is an article in today's pgh post-gazette about a 32 year old former college football player who is suing the NCAA - asserting that he has football-induced ALS. Sorry I don't know how to post a link.
 
Interesting concept. I thought it was the other way around ( tongue in cheek).

I had a miid concussion two weeks ago. Unpleasant & ouchy.
 
Emory is doing research on head trauma and als....
 
The link between concussion and FTD is pretty well accepted now, and FTD related ALS seems to be a reasonable further conclusion.
