There's no confirmed cause, but there is a higher rate of ALS among professional football players. I don't have a link to the study on hand, but it points to the possibility that high contact sports may put one at more risk for ALS.

You’re correct.

Here is the study you may be referencing: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34910152/

I learned something today, thank you.
