Has anyone noticed how few targeting penalities have been called in the last two weeks of college football?

.@jemelehill gets real with @TiffanyDCross, explaining the concept of "race-norming" and what it means now the #NFL is dropping it as a league policy. #CrossConnection

We know #COVID19 has caused longterm damage to major organs
When the @NFL substantially reduces disability benefits for former players, how can they truly care?

Talking with @E_Reid35 @meiselasb @PassMonique talks about husband Patrick, Junior Seau and the need current players will have when the leave the game injured.
"They know eventually where this is heading but... some of these guys don't have wives. Who's taking care of them"?

Tune in tomorrow at 4pm EST .@meiselasb and I will be talking to wives of former players about their experience with disability under the CBA. Join by clinking the live stream link that I tweet tomorrow at 4pm
Please watch this now! @mandy2xoxo
I can’t stop laughing and who is Eric Reed?
@jeffnixon let me introduce you to @TwentyER who you incorrectly blasted in that article to former players on Disability cuts. Now let me introduce you to @E_Reid35 who's fighting for current disabled and future disabled guys and actually upholding #pastpresentfuture mantra
Thank you for standing up for us! 👊🏾👊🏾👊🏾👊🏾@E_Reid35
Translation...@stephenasmith: He’s doing the right things but someone else who is less compassionate should take over
This doesn’t surprise me. I live in southern Ca. And the nfl sent me to Fla,AZ with a comprised immune system 3 months post liver transplant. I’m sure they were hoping I couldn’t make it. I had to fly against my doctors orders to even apply for my disability benefits

& denied his case w/o review of medical records all because his disabilities prevented him from traveling long distances for exams w/Plan doctors. They originally had him traveling 1,000+ miles. Then they trimmed it to *only* 9-hours when there were Plan docs less than 1 hr away

...and the @NFL hired lawyers to fight his disability claims

I’m disappointed @JCTretter that your letter did not address that the CBA was altered after vote, harming disabled players. Being ‘unified’ in ignorance helps no one & @NFLPA silence is deafening. Have you forwarded letter I posted yesterday to all members so they know what’s up?

This is so sad.
I'm told that the owners are aware of how many players are truly incapacitated from football but instead of wanting to help them, they want to deny they're disabled because they know future claims will be enormous. @NFL and @NFLPA have a lot of explaining to do. @AnheuserBusch

This NEW change will affect even more DISABLED families than the original CBA stated by deceasing Disability Benefits that families have been receiving, some for decades. They are now being cut to an amount lower than they were receiving back in 2011.

Oh Mike, do you think we’re not worried about our families too? We are. Many of the permanently disabled nfl players are counting on men like @E_Reid35 to be our advocate as the disabled players were blindsided by the nfl and nflpa. These were life benefits that are now being cut
