Summary
The San Francisco 49ers hired an expert to investigate claims that an electric substation near their practice facility was causing injuries to players. The team’s general manager, John Lynch, said the results of the investigation showed that the levels of electromagnetic energy emitted by the substation were 400 times lower than the safety threshold. Lynch stated that the team is “safe” and “healthy” and that the substation is not a concern. The team had spent $9 million on renovations, including the addition of hot tubs and ice baths, and hired three more physical therapists to address injury concerns.

The habit gets a new name.
The 49ers’ injury woes have been a topic of discussion, and some had pointed to the electric substation as a possible culprit. But after running tests, the team has downplayed concerns. It’s just another example of how easily we can get caught up in conspiracy theories. The team’s $9 million renovation and hiring of more physical therapists seems like a more practical approach to addressing injuries. And let’s be real, if electromagnetic energy was the cause, wouldn’t we have seen more teams affected? The substation is just a scapegoat for the team’s injury issues.
