I know this was posted in September of 2015, but I thought we should be reminded of Kerry's fight against this deadly disease which recently claimed the life of Kevin Turner. Clearly, I think having two former Alabama players with ALS, that we know of, could indicate that it is the result of consistently hitting and being hit on the head. Of course, the die could have been cast playing high school or pro football. We will never know what triggered the emergence of this devastating illness.
Don't get me wrong, I love football in general and Alabama football in particular. but I don't want my enjoyment of the game to be at the expense of these men's lives.
