""Because it deals with allegedly the health and safety of our players, I think you have to look into everything," Lynch said. "We've been reaching out to anyone and everyone to see, does a study exist other than a guy sticking an apparatus underneath the fence and coming up with a number that I have no idea what that means? That's what we know exists. We've heard that debunked. ... The health and safety of our players is of the utmost priority.""
"The theory that has been making the rounds on the internet and has crept its way into the 49ers locker room -- receiver Kendrick Bourne alluded to it after tight end George Kittle tore his right Achilles in the playoff game against Philadelphia -- suggests the Niners' lengthy injury list over the past decade-plus can be attributed, in part, to excessive exposure to electromotive force (EMF)."
After another injury-plagued season, the San Francisco 49ers plan to investigate all possible causes of recurring player injuries, including a viral theory linking a nearby electrical substation to excessive electromotive force (EMF) exposure. General manager John Lynch said the team has reached out broadly for credible studies beyond informal measurements and emphasized player health and safety as the top priority. The team has trained in Santa Clara since the late 1980s and the substation expanded in 2014. Scientists and medical professionals have largely debunked the EMF claim, but the organization will not ignore any potential safety concern.
