Kittle and the 49ers Electrical Substation Injury Theory
from NFL Talk | San Francisco 49ers · host Man Hour NFL Talk
San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle recently addressed a viral theory suggesting that a nearby electrical substation might be causing the team's high number of injuries. While the NFL's medical experts state there is no evidence to support this claim, Kittle believes the potential impact on player health deserves a formal investigation. He argues that professional athletes constantly seek marginal gains in recovery, so even a small negative influence from radiation should be identified and eliminated. The star player noted strange observations, such as dying trees near the facility, as a reason for his curiosity. Ultimately, Kittle wants scientific research to provide the team with peace of mind regarding their training environment. Though he joked about teammates "absorbing" the energy, his primary goal is ensuring the safety and longevity of the roster.
