This took away a major moment from people living with HIV and a fat/HIV+ queer person to platform her lies. I will end with saying that I’ve only asked for an apology and admission from her publicly that she did not write the longline and her work was never stolen.

Excerpt from a 2018 #NFL appeal "not every retired player with cognitive or neurological issues is entitled to a Monetary Award...carefully calibrated and negotiated result."

@KMajik7 you are a fighter too!

[Kelly Majkowski @KMajik7]

Today I dropped my husband @dmajik7 off for his #23 surgery from 10 years in the @NFL. Plz send a prayer up for him. Living life with a body that’s degenerating daily isn’t easy. He’s a fighter! And he hopes the fight for changes to the 2020 CBA will also help the #400forgotten.

Practice what you pretend to preach @DeSmithNFLPA @NFLPA

[Women of the Retired & Disabled NFL @WomenoftheNFL]

@JeffNixon if ur not receiving benefits, u couldnt possibly be feeling what players who can no longer do for themselves, how they once could in their glory days, are feeling. Theres very little parity in so many of ur comments & perspectives u so willfully share & deem as helpful

[antoinette kelley @byassemblage]

This is a choice that should never have to be made... Can you not understand that @jeffnixon?!

[Women of the Retired & Disabled NFL @WomenoftheNFL]

Decisions that now need to be made because of the bargaining deal of @DeSmithNFLPA with the @NFL

[Resist Programming 🛰 @RzstProgramming]

🎥 2009: DeMaurice Smith testified to the US House Judiciary Committee that he was committed to current and former players in “getting the right answers” to protect them.

Before Congress, Smith said he would “do better,” but, this year, he bargained away disability benefits.

[RoxyMcCray @RoxyGordon16]

All we want is for retired player with TBI to receive what was promised to them in the concussion settlement agreement. Retired players are confused as to how their Class Counsel received over 100M but they are still waiting to be paid or even approved?????

[Women of the Retired & Disabled NFL @WomenoftheNFL]

Noticing more cognitive issues after retirement the Cason's @SJ_Cason sought Neuro Specialists & treatments to help w/brain & mental issues. Applied for SS Dis "b/c it was a known thing that w/@NFL if ur not almost dead U would not qualify for T&P disability."@E_Reid35 @meiselasb

[Women of the Retired & Disabled NFL @WomenoftheNFL]

@E_Reid35 @meiselasb visit w/@RoxyGordon16, her husband Amon Gordon, played 8 yrs, retired from @Chiefs in 2012 w/a list of surgeries, frontal lobe damage and lesions on his brain which means his brain was bleeding while he was playing. Dis Benefits were denied TWICE by @NFL Drs.

[Women of the Retired & Disabled NFL @WomenoftheNFL]

@meiselasb speaks on @moniquepass & her struggle the CBA & how it affects current players & disabled players.

@E_Reid35 "NFL loves to propagate health & safety but then they extend the season & they extend the post season & then they cut disability benefits from former players"

[Women of the Retired & Disabled NFL @WomenoftheNFL]

@sandrkan @E_Reid35 @meiselasb on seeing NFL Drs on husbands disability claim.
Sent to 3 NFL Drs. Two Drs "tried to discount evrythng we said & they ended up tellng us tht they felt he was faking it" Dr#3 who said he wouldnt be able to sort mail was missing from the denial report
