This is a perfect exemplification of how the cultural of football and coaching leads to harm. Texas A&M QB Weigman vomited multiple times during the game and the coach just says “puke and rally.” tsn.ca/ncaa/no-7-notr…

Commentator Chris Fowler also used the “puke and rally” line to describe the incident at the time. This can essentially be understood as overtraining as mantra in college football and it is not difficult to see how that contextualizes the deaths we are seeing across the sport.

More bonkers bad boss behavior from McGill University administration: 1) Days before @AMPL/AMPD goes on strike 8/29, top admin sends emails to all law professors attacking union and presenting "their side of the story." This is a flagrant violation of QC Labour Code & Canadian Charter.

This is an important thread that highlights both: 1) the absolute absurdity of McGill University's treatment of @AMPL/AMPD and 2) the general state of higher ed administration dealing with faculty in Canada.

“The time cannot be far distant when an enlightened public will come to realize that the game of football is one of the few remaining survivals of barbarism among a civilized people and that it, too, should be discarded.” - M.J. Clurman in Medical Record, January 7, 1911

As someone who has spent 25+ years studying & participating in US & Canadian labour movements, it has been shocking to see how McGill University has dealt with @AMPL/AMPD & other faculty unions, as Evan Fox-Decent describes in this letter to Inside Higher Ed insidehighered.com/opinion/letter…

"McGill is deploying the worst private sector tactics developed by Walmart, Amazon, and Starbucks against its faculty unions." @AMPL/AMPD is Inside Higher Ed insidehighered.com/opinion/letter…
