Staff Report / FTWlocal.org
Texas Christian University (TCU) Dean of Harris College, Dr. Chris Watts, who is a researcher in Parkinson's disease, recently discussed the implications of Pro Football Hall of Fame quarterback Brett Favre's Parkinson's diagnosis. Dr. Watts emphasized that head trauma is not the only risk factor associated with the disease. He noted that research specifically focused on football players and the connection to Parkinson’s is not as comprehensive as it could be. Dr. Watts highlighted the significance of football in American culture and stressed the importance of understanding the links between the sport and neurological health.
