The C. O. W. S. w/ Julie M. Stamm, PhD: NFL, Brain Damage, and Black Boys #DamarHamlin

The Context of White Supremacy welcomes Dr. Julie M. Stamm. With a doctorate in anatomy and neurobiology from the Boston University School of Medicine, Dr. Stamm conducted research at the Boston University Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy Center and the Psychiatry Neuroimaging Laboratory at Harvard Medical School, Brigham and Women’s Hospital. She's also a White Woman who was raised in rural Wisconsin in an area that may be a Racially Restricted Region (Sundown Town). She confessed to hearing Racist Jokes - even from her White family members - and sometimes chuckling. Much of the US kicked off the so-called new year with Monday Night Football's gridiron clash between the hosting Cincinnati Bengals and the visiting Buffalo Bills. 24-year-old Damar Hamlin was nearly killed on the field after a collision with the Bengals's Tee Higgins. Millions watched Hamlin receive nearly 10 minutes of CPR to get him "restarted." We'll use this tragedy to investigate the dangers of tackle football, especially for young children, in Dr. Stamm's 2021 publication, The Brain on Youth Sports: The Science, the Myths, and the Future. The text is intended for parents and youth coaches to better understand the risks of collision sports to the still-developing child brain. Dr. Stamm shared that there are reports that suggest black players are less informed about concussions/Brain Damage than their White counter-parts. We also discuss how the culture of tackle football (White culture?) contributes to obesity even while claiming to encourage exercise. This is the second time since Thursday where The C.O.W.S. features a book citing White Welfare Queen Brett Favre. #WhiteBallGames #LetsGoBuffalo #TheCOWS13 #Pelé INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 605.313.5164 CODE 564943#
