Its not just head trauma.

Linemen also have all kinds of issues with joints,especially knees,and with their backs.

The constant hits,combined with their "playing weight" is a recipe for disaster.

Years ago they did a special on Jim Otto.

Watching him trying to get of bed in the morning was scary.

The sounds his joints made were worse.

...and if a lineman goes on to become President, but stumbles a bit because of bad knees, they get mocked for it by SNL.

It's what got the career of Chevy Chase started.

I don't blame it on either. I blame it on the odds. I can tell you that I used to be a 13 handicap golfer. That's not great, but it's also not bad. I can assure you that my shots didn't all stay in the fairway. If you put me in a situation with thousands of people lining the fairway (and they weren't wearing hard hats), sooner or later someone would get hit.

Spiro Agnew also hit a spectator, as I recall.

Since you brought up concussions, perhaps that explains his comments on the Soviet domination of Eastern Europe?

All joking aside, that was a much nicer time. In the Post-Watergate years, both parties recognized the need for candidates who were genuinely nice people, and I don't think there have ever been two nicer Presidential candidates than Ford and Carter.

We probably shouldn't be talking about golf, anyway. Apparently not all bobcat attackers approve of golf: https://tinyurl.com/yyns56c6
