"SANTA CLARA, Calif. -- After yet another injury-plagued season, the San Francisco 49ers intend to investigate every avenue to find out why those ailments continue to pile up year-after-year. That includes an investigation into the viral conspiracy theory that the electrical substation located near their training facility and Levi's Stadium is contributing to those injuries, general manager John Lynch said Wednesday."
"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. We pore into it."
After another injury-plagued season, the San Francisco 49ers will investigate every avenue to determine why ailments continue to accumulate. The team plans to examine a viral conspiracy theory that an electrical substation near the training facility and Levi's Stadium contributes to injuries. General manager John Lynch said investigators have been reaching out broadly to find studies beyond an informal measurement taken by an individual. Lynch said some claims have been debunked but emphasized that player health and safety is the utmost priority. Ownership will provide resources for the inquiry. Receiver Kendrick Bourne referenced the theory after George Kittle tore his right Achilles in the playoff loss to Philadelphia.
