| 1624850414007992326 | @nkalamb @wagatwe I watched pro football my entire life, starting in the 70s. But when the dual scandals of the concussion coverup & the blackballing of Kaepernick came out at about the same time, I was done. Haven't watched a game since. We're enriching racists while they slowly kill players | 7 |
| 1624836568270921729 | @nkalamb I'm old enough to remember how the NFL knew how serious football injuries are, particularly brain injuries, and covered it up.Then when they were forced to pay actual money, they cobbled up a formula that paid black players less. This is a seriously corrupt sport. | 4 |

| 1624745474946174977 | @nkalamb @nb_covid_info The @NFL is most definitely a meat grinder for elite athletes. It uses them up and spits them out perpetually. The game has changed more than any other sport I can think of, adjusting to make a âsaferâ game. Itâs not safe though. Never will be. But it makes a mint. It wonât stop. | 2 |
| 1624451887495012352 | @nkalamb Sports concussion case??? Gee v NCAA was a brain damage case. He never had a diagnosed concussion so pretty wild to label his case as such. The word concussion is like student-athlete or light cigarettes. Itâs intended use was to lessen the severity of reality. | 1 |

| 1626198855690715137 | @nkalamb Academics & intellectuals have been part of our statesâ imperial projects since their inception. So relying on past academic work as knowing ALL that exists is very problematic. We academics are not above abusive systems; weâve perpetrated a lot of it. | 1 |

| 1624755056703688704 | @nkalamb @wtflanksteak Thanks for this thread. Sums up how I feel about football now as a lifelong sports fan and also sufferer of persistent post-concussion syndrome, plus anti-racist | 15 |

| 1624846374045995014 | @nkalamb I'm not going to defend the morality of the NFL, but what Damar Hamlin suffered is so epidemic in lacrosse that defines the safety equipment they use in the sport. So, unless you got beef with pretty much all contact sports, you sound a bit racist here. | 7 |
