According to the lawsuit, Ferrier had previously purchased antique flour sacks from Guida. On Nov. 26, 2016, Ferrier confronted the antiques dealer about an early 1900s sack from the Lucky Flour Company that had a swastika incorporated into its label, the suit states. It was on display behind the storeâs sales counter.
The admission took all of two words. It came when Jeff Miller, the NFLâs senior vice president for health and safety policy, was asked by Rep. Jan Schakowsky (D-Ill.) in a Capitol Hill round-table discussion whether there was a link between football and diseases like chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE).
CTE stands for chronic traumatic encephalopathy. It's a brain disease caused by concussions and other repeated head injuries. It mostly happens in athletes who play contact sports like football and ice hockey. Doctors first identified it under a different name in the 1920s in aging boxers. Although thereâs no cure, you or your child can take steps to avoid getting CTE.
