To truly understand Tunch Ilkin’s ALS diagnosis, Mike Asti spoke with Chris Nowinski, a former college football player and WWE super-star, who has made it his life’s mission to help educate the public on the effects of brain damage in athletes.
Nowinski explains to Mike what kind of fight Tunch Ilkin will be dealing with, the risk NFL players are taking and why football is actually not safer today than in the past.
