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.

I unequivocally think there's a link between playing football and CTE, McKee said Monday. We've seen it in 90 out of 94 NFL players whose brains we've examined, we've found it in 45 out of 55 college players and six out of 26 high school players.
