The C.​O.​W.​S. w/ Julie Stamm, PhD: White Supremacy, the NFL & CTE 🏈 (Guardian Caps Will Not Protect Your Brain Computer)

from The C.O.W.S.

The Context of White Supremacy welcomes the return of Dr. Julie M. Stamm. Classified as a White Woman and brandishing a doctorate in anatomy and neurobiology from the Boston University School of Medicine, Dr. Stamm conducted research at the Boston University Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy Center and the Psychiatry Neuroimaging Laboratory at Harvard Medical School, Brigham and Women’s Hospital. We first spoke with Dr. Stamm in 2023 just days after Damar Hamlin was nearly killed on the football field. We discussed her new book, The Brain On Youth Sports: The Science, The Myths & The Future. Gus learned a lot from Dr. Stamm and applied her teachings to future programs and thinking about tackle football and brain health. The recent happenings with CTE research, including a report suggesting that at least 25% of NFL players have this type of brain impairment, motivated Gus to check in with Dr. Stamm one more. Many in the tackle football industry did not view this news with excitement. In fact, this in conjunction with news that 24-year-old Marshawn Kneeland, who played 18 total NFL games all for the Dallas Cowboys before taking his own life at the end of 2025, suffered from Stage 1 CTE made many question if it’s possible to play tackle football “safely.” #TheCOWS17Years #JulieStamm #ChrisJohnson #NFL #TackleFootball #CTE #Concussion #GlobalWhiteSupremacy #DamarHamlin #WhiteBallGames #MarshawnKneeland #DallasCowboys Call-In Number: 720.716.7300 Code: 564943# 💻 No phone?
