@jsmoliga @37919KJ @bachyns @NFLObjectors @CarBombBoom13 When I saw the company at the ELEVATE event in Toronto in 2017, I asked the same question again to one of the c-suite executives standing by their exhibit table. He had a blank look and then said, wow that is a good question and we should look into that.

I sat next to Jon Butler at dinner in Chicago after a "closed" meeting of insurance people, youth sports CEOs & Dr. Julian Bailes. I asked Jon why not use his power to lead the way to switch young kids to flag from tackle. His answer to me was, "kids don't like flag football."

@jsmoliga @37919KJ @bachyns @NFLObjectors @CarBombBoom13 Three weeks into a concussion, I put on the collar as did all the guests at the event. Spiked my headache terribly, and I asked if you were hiding a concussion would wearing collar increase your chances of reinjury or Second Impact Syndrome? I got blank looks back from them.

Why am I tweeting about smoking and asbestos?

[SportConcussionAware @SportsCAPP]

Oh, so the lesson here is health risks to people are not a priority of the fed gov and industry can put pressure on the courts...hmmm.... Source: https://t.co/BSpa0qb0bR

See ⬇️where Jon Butler, Pop Warner's executive director, on smoking, asbestos & football.

Then watch this 1970 video https://t.co/AM657DCv59 - Philip Morris CEO tells pregnant moms smoking is SAFE & 🚬 actually good for moms as "some women prefer smaller babies."

Go figure?

Maybe asbestos is a good comparison to football-related brain injury? No amount of brain injury is safe...

Although medical evidence in the 1930s linked asbestos exposure to mesothelioma, the federal government didn’t pass legislation limiting exposure until the 1970s. More guidelines were issued the following decade.
