Reply to comment by Divallo in A Swedish study found elite male soccer players are 1.5 times more likely to develop neurodegenerative disease compared to population controls. A previous study from Scotland suggested that soccer players were 3.5 times more likely to develop neurodegenerative disease. by Wagamaga

There was some sort of study on I think a mlb team or something, I forget what it was about but it said with the hot weather in summer the chemicals in the turf get heated up and release into the air as toxins and the players absorb it or breath it in and i think it said these players were getting cancer maybe

Yes. While climate change is making warmer summers more likely in Scotland, they are still not common.
