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).
So does the NFL concede that thereâs a link between football and CTE? The answer isnât as clear as it could be, or should be. NFL executive V.P. of player health and safety Jeff Miller recently told a Congressional committee that a link exists. Multiple owners have since questioned Millerâs remarks.
