According to a recent front page article in The New York Times, “Dementia Risk Seen in Players in NFL Study,” former football players are diagnosed with memory-related diseases at 19 times the normal rate. Sylvia Mackey, whose story is featured in Chapter 4, has been living that reality for the last eight years. I caught up with Sylvia recently and updated her story for More.com. Read the article here.
Look for Sylvia at the upcoming congressional hearings about brain injuries and former NFL players. A date has not yet been announced.
