This man was a victim of Parkinson’s disease because of football. However, looking proudly at how now that football is fond of his son, because he believes that researchers in the future will make the game safe.
Florida resident Vincent Wright has no doubt that those years in school and College, which he spent playing American football, gave him Parkinson’s disease.

That is why among former professional football players such a large number of victims of Parkinson’s disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and other terrible diseases.
All the more surprising that Vincent not only allows his son to play football, but enjoy watching how he does it.
