In this episode of By Any Means Necessary, hosts Sean Blackmon and Jacquie Luqman are joined by Dr. Jodi Dean, Professor of Political Sciences at Hobart and William Smith Colleges and author of “Comrade: An Essay on Political Belonging” to discuss the anniversary of the Roe v. Wade decision outlining the right to abortion and attempts to roll back reproductive rights, how popular struggle, and not the benevolence of the Supreme Court, was responsible for the Roe decision and for reproductive care, and how women are organizing today against attacks on the right to abortion and the Supreme Court's potential overturning of Roe.In the second segment, Sean and Jacquie are joined by Ari Paul, Contributing Writer to Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting to discuss the New York Times' use of far-right and racialized rhetoric in its coverage of China's policies to combat COVID-19, its disgusting comparison of the bureaucracy of the Chinese response to COVID-19 to the bureaucracy involved in the Holocaust, why the mainstream media's biased coverage of China's response is related to the abject deference of the US COVID response to capital, and the double standards employed by the mainstream media to magnify issues with China's lockdown as it fails to cover the failures of the US response.In the third segment, Sean and Jacquie are joined by Nate Wallace, co-host of Red Spin Sports to discuss the hidden physical wounds that come with playing football and the story of former linebacker Chris Borland, the partnerships between the Department of Defense and the NCAA in covering up the physical toll of football, the increasingly racialized and classed nature of football and the wounds that are often involved with it, and the propaganda war waged to promote football in the wake of increased awareness of its physical toll.Later in the show, Sean and Jacquie are joined by Brian Becker, host of the Socialist Program to discuss the hypocrisy of the mainstream media in its coverage of the prosecution of Julian Assange, which threatens to chill speech and investigative journalism, the US government's campaign to silence coverage of the crimes exposed by Assange and to cover up the crimes it continues to carry out on victims of imperialism, the history of US involvement in Ukraine and eastern Europe and how it fits into US warmongering in Ukraine today, and the US cold war drive against China as the anniversary of the establishment of relations between the two nations.

In this segment of By Any Means Necessary, Sean and Jacquie are joined by Nate Wallace, co-host of Red Spin Sports to discuss the hidden physical wounds that come with playing football and the story of former linebacker Chris Borland, the partnerships between the Department of Defense and the NCAA in covering up the physical toll of football, the increasingly racialized and classed nature of football and the wounds that are often involved with it, and the propaganda war waged to promote football in the wake of increased awareness of its physical toll.

In this rather searing episode, Derek and Nathan sit down with former San Francisco 49er and Wisconsin Badger Chris Borland to discuss the football industrial complex. Chris explains why he decided to retire at the very beginning of an exceptionally promising NFL career, how the Care Consortium is profoundly understating the danger of football in concussion research, and what makes college football so fundamentally exploitative.  You can find Chris' full testimony before Congress on the prevalence of concussions in college football here. You can also follow Chris on Twitter to keep up with everything he is working on!     For a transcription of this episode, please click here. (Updated semi-regularly Credit @punkademic) Research Assistance for The End of Sport provided by Abigail Bomba. __________________________________________________________________________ If you are interested, you can support the show via our Patreon!

As a rookie linebacker for the San Francisco 49ers in 2014, Chris Borland registered 107 tackles, even though he didn't start until Week 7. He was even NFL Rookie of the Week that year. With a seemingly long and successful career in the league in front of him, Borland retired after his rookie season over concerns about long-term brain trauma. He joins John & Marcia discuss why he stepped away from football, plus his-post NFL life of preaching the benefits of meditation and his internship with former president Jimmy Carter's foundation.

In October, our host Libby Ballengee had the honor of participating in the inaugural Dayton Peace Festival at the Dayton International Peace Museum.

After months of research, an NFL Linebacker with the San Francisco 49ers get’s off the phone with a leading Brain Scientist from Boston University. His mind is made up. There is no doubt remaining. Chris Borland is about to walk away from a 4 year, multi million dollar contract, a move that would shock the sporting world, and label him as “The Most Dangerous Man in Football”. Linebacker Chris Borland, described as a heat seeking missile, was selected in the 3rd round of the 2014 NFL draft for the San Francisco 49ers. As a college football player he was named the Big Ten’s Freshman of the year, got on the watch-list for the Butkus Award, given to the nations best linebackers, and ranked the #4 defensive MVP by ESPN -- just a few of Borland’s achievements which got the attention of the NFL scouts and thrust him into the spotlight. Yet months after getting all-rookie honors for recording 107 tackles, a sack, two interceptions and a fumble recovery for the 49ers and with a stellar football career ahead for this 24 year old – Chris Borland walked away from it all, March 2015, confident about the biggest decision he has made in his life! This is his incredible story!

From the original blog, found here: https://dumbbellsanddragons.com/877/ Like many of us, I spent the last two weekends watching football. It was exciting, surprising, and, above all, entertaining. I followed the games along with my fantasy stats, cheered when my players scored, cursed when my opponents did. Then the injuries happened. Tony Romo out with a fractured clavicle, Alshon Jeffrey with a hurt hammy. And Luke Kuechly with a concussion. These days, it seems at least one player all 32 teams is going through the “concussion protocol,” a series of tests to protect players’ health. There are many sides to this debate, whether the onus is on the players or league to protect the players’ health. In a time where former NFL player Chris Borland retired after a single year citing the health risks as his reason. He had a bright future and could have made a lot of money as an NFL player. He chose his health. In a recent study, 76 of 79 deceased players’ brains were shown to have some sort of degenerative disease[1]. It’s really hard not to understand why Chris made the decision he did. A new development in treating brain injuries is on the horizon. Kannalife, a bio-pharmaceutical and phyto-medical company, has been studying Cannabinoids (CBD) for use in treatment[2]. We were lucky enough to sit down with former NFL defensive end and Super Bowl XXXIII champion, Marvin Washington to talk about CBD, Kannalife, NFL player safety, and a controversial new movie, Concussion, starring Will Smith as Dr. Bennet Omalu[3]. Highlights of the conversation will be discussed. To expand on the conversation with Marvin, CTE stands for chronic traumatic encephalopathy. If you are interested in learning more about the specifics of this, check out the CTE Wikipedia, here . In brief, its slang is NFL Concussion Syndrome, and in one study, 96% of former NFL players have it[4]. That’s a very scary number, especially when you see how popular the sport is. It’s essentially saying, if you play football at a professional level, you will get this disease and it will affect your life when you retire. How many of us have had to deal with a parent or grandparent with a cognitive disability? It’s painful. And there is no reason for it. Marvin mentioned that the numbers of young children and high school students playing football is down, but millions and millions of people are still playing this sport[5]. Whether or not to play the game is a conversation that needs to happen within families. As Marvin said, families and players are more educated about the risks. Marvin and I love football. And we want to see it grow, but safely, without a 96% likelihood of getting CTE. Hopefully, these issues will be brought to light this December when Concussion starring Will Smith is released on Christmas Day. Concussion is the story of Dr. Bennet Omalu, the forensic pathologist that discovered CTE. From the trailer (see below), it has Will Smith’s Oscar nom written all over it. This movie has the NFL running scared. They already are planning a rebuttal to the film[6]. This isn’t the first time the NFL has been involved in some concussion related scandal. Late in 2013, there were rumors the NFL pressured ESPN to distance itself from a PBS Frontline documentary, League of Denial: The NFL’s Concussion Crisis[7]. Regardless of whether or not the NFL pressured anyone, and regardless on the success of Will Smith’s movie. Concussions and CTE are problems. They warrant solutions, wherever they may be found. I met Marvin through contacts at the Cannabis World Congress and Business Expo in Los Angeles. Marvin spoke about the work of Kannalife, a company doing R&D on the medical benefits of CBD, of which he serves on the advisory board. Kannalife holds the exclusive license for the commercialization of CBD as an antioxidant and neuroprotectant. There is limited research showing the benefits of CBD to reduce short term brain damage[8]. For more on Kannalife, check them out here. CBD is a non-psychoactive aspect of marijuana. Meaning, it doesn’t get you high[9]. This gives CBD many positive medical aspects. Mostly because this limits the side effects. It isn’t used for recreational purposes like THC (the psychoactive ingredient in marijuana.). Even in states where medical and recreational marijuana use is legal, it doesn’t change the fact that marijuana is a banned substance in every sport! A UFC fighter just got suspended for five years because of it[10]! We are on the verge of some very exciting discoveries. In time, not only will CTE be a thing of the past, but very possibly dementia, Alzheimer’s, and ALS. What are your thoughts? How will the sports world deal with the new evidence that marijuana can be medically beneficial? Comment below! Stay strong, stay safe. #WorkOutNerdOut Send us your feedback online: https://pinecast.com/feedback/dumbbells--dragons/99664abf-e07c-44a9-9a6b-52323b482b42 This podcast is powered by Pinecast.

Chris Borland is a former American football linebacker who played for the San Francisco 49ers. He is one of the first NFL players to retire from professional football early in his career due to concerns over head injuries inherent to the sport.

After each week of NFL football games for the 2017-2018 season, the Heads 'N Tales podcast will be posting an episode dedicated to injuries and health & safety topics surrounding the NFL. Specifically we will talk about possible prevention strategies, the rulebook, equipment and other injury buzz around the league.  My co-host and strategist for these episodes will be one of my closest friends, Josh Boyd (hence the J in "JK"..I'm the K...).  Josh and I grew up playing baseball together. Josh was a division-1 center fielder for Monmouth University and experienced his fair share of injuries throughout his career.  Although Josh never played organized football, the dude flat-out knows the game of football and undoubtably knows more about the ins-and-outs of the sport better than I do from both a fan and x's & o's perspective.  Our intention for these episodes is to spark conversations around topics that are usually brushed under the rug or only minimally covered in the hopes of making football and all sports safer for the athletes who play them.   You are currently looking at the show notes for THE 2017-18 PRO BOWL WEEK!

He's been called "the most dangerous man in football" for his decision to stop playing in the NFL. He thought the risks of brain injury were too high. Chris Borland may have opened the door for other players to do the same. Then, cadets at the Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs expect exhausting physical training, perhaps even some hazing, but a Boulder woman writes in a new book that she was subjected to much worse. And she says her superiors turned a blind eye. Also, it's an important time for Colorado's owls. Many are searching for mates. Photographer Paul Bannick has captured a year in the lives of owls.

Today, we talk to former San Francisco 49er Chris Borland.  This is a powerful podcast because Chris was a high school All-American, an All-American at the University of Wisconsin, and was about to have a stellar NFL career.  However, after the first season in the NFL, Chris decided to retire from football. Speaking with him, he mentions how he did get some slack, but there were a lot of people supporting him as well.  I had to ask the question that he got thousands of times, "Why?", and his response was with utter class. He is one of the most intelligent, well-spoken athletes I've ever met and it was a true honor to have him on the podcast discussing his career and the subtleties of his decision. Thank you, Chris.

With the Super Bowl now fading into our rearview mirror, the February 12 Quick Kicks Podcast begins to tackle the offseason with a look at some of the key issues that are in play for teams as we had towards free agency. Chuck Zodda and Mark Schofield delve into the sudden retirements of Calvin Johnson and Marshawn Lynch and how these moves may send ripples throughout the NFL in the offseason. Topics include: -Whether potential early retirements have to be something for NFL teams to prepare for after the moves from these two superstars and other players in recent years such as the San Francisco 49ers' Chris Borland last offseason (2:48) -Other early retirements in the history of the NFL including Jim Brown, Barry Sanders, and Ricky Williams, and whether NFL teams need to do additional due diligence in figuring out the place football has in a player's life (5:22) -Which of these two teams will have the bigger challenge replacing Lynch and Johnson, and whether the roles in which these players were currently used will make it easier for their teams to find capable replacements (10:50) -Our Twitter Question of the Day, "Who are the candidates to run the fastest at the combine this year?"

Episode 059: Mark Fainaru-Wada – Investigative Reporter, Steroids, Barry Bonds, and Concussions This was an extremely thought provoking conversation with Mark Fainaru-Wada.  This is the first time I’ve ever had an investigative reporter on as a guest of The Learning Leader Show.  The magnitude of the work that Mark has done is immense.    We touched on a number of topics during this conversation from Chris Borland retiring to Cris Carter’s “Fall Guy” comments made at the NFL Rookie Symposium.  It was a very enlightening an entertaining conversation.

With his colleague Lance Williams, he co-authored the New York Times best-seller “Game of Shadows — Barry Bonds, BALCO and the Steroids Scandal That Rocked Professional Sports.”  He’s also written (along with his brother Steve Fainaru) “League Of Denial,” which reveals how the NFL, over a period of nearly two decades, sought to cover up and deny mounting evidence of the connection between football and brain damage.

Episode 019: Chris Borland – Why He Walked Away From Millions Of Dollars This was an extremely thought provoking conversation with Chris Borland.  Chris is an extremely intelligent person who also is very driven and likable.  I really enjoyed getting to know him better and also gain a better understanding for why he walked away from the NFL after just one stellar season. Chris Borland had a storied high school and college football career.  That led him to being a third round draft choice of The San Francisco 49ers where he quickly excelled as a dominant Linebacker. Borland was selected as the NFL's Defensive Rookie of the Month for November. Chris finished his rookie season with 108 tackles, 1 sack, and 2 interceptions in only starting 8 games. On March 16, 2015, he announced his retirement from the NFL citing concern of head trauma.  Chris received a $617,436 signing bonus when he inked a four-year rookie deal with the 49ers coming out of college. He'll be returning over $450,000 to the team.

We need validation. Leave a review: iTunes | Stitcher Hey, sports fans! This week, Aline Sandouk, Kaci Mcleary, John Pienta, and Cory Christensen talk about sports injuries, particularly football.

My conversation with the only person qualified to use the Twitter handle @MathMeetsFball -- Baltimore Ravens' offensive lineman John Urschel. Urschel is getting major buzz this week after linebacker Chris Borland retired from the NFL to avoid the long-term health risks of football. Urschel weighed in on Derek Jeter's new website The Players' Tribune with a piece called "Why I Play Football." But that's not the question that drove me to call Urschel. What I set out to learn is how a man whose elementary school teachers considered him "mentally challenged" reached such a high level of achievement in sports AND academics. It was his mother. Once John Urschel gets started talking about his mother he has a a hard time stopping -- and it's hard to stop listening to the dramatic details.

What kind of statement can the Wisconsin Badgers make with a victory Saturday against the Nebraska Huskers? Can Melvin Gordon continue rolling over defenses and stay in contention for the Heisman Trophy? Can Joel Stave and Tanner McEvoy, along with the Badgers' wide receivers, help keep the Huskers' defense honest to allow the Badgers to run wild? We'll also recap several former Badgers' big days in the NFL. Chris Borland has 35 tackles in two games, and J.J. Watt's on TWO magazine covers this week! Plus, we'll recap the Green Bay Packers' big victory over the Chicago Bears -- can they keep it up against former Badgers Chris Maragos, Beau Allen and the 7-2 Philadelphia Eagles?

Wes Hodkiewicz of the Green Bay Press Gazette comes on around 8:10 to discuss his thoughts on addressing the Packers' needs. Did Ted Thompson fill the needs at the positions needed like safety, tight end, and linebacker? How will Jared Abbrederis function on this team both as a receiving option and a possible return specialist? And how did the rest of the NFC North stack up? After that, we'll discuss how the Wisconsin Badgers shaped up in the draft. Did anyone expect Dez Southward to be taken so high by the Atlanta Falcons? How will Chris Borland fit into the 3-4 of the San Francisco 49ers, and you couldn't ask for better places to go for James White and Beau Allen to go than New England and Philadelphia, respectively. That, and which Badgers that went undrafted who have the best shot at making an NFL roster.

Who should the Green Bay Packers select in the 2014 NFL Draft? Which positions are of the greatest need after the initial free agency buzz? Will C.J. Mosley, Calvin Pryor, or Ha Ha Clinton-Dix be available at 21?Which Badgers will be selected and where? We ask CheeseheadTV's Brian Carriveau at 8:20!

At 8:30 p.m., former All-Big Ten & Nagurski-Woodson Defensive Player of the Year, Chris Borland, joins the show. We'll ask him his thoughts about the Badgers' victory last night, details on his NFL preparation, and how the ruling in favor of Northwestern's football players could change college football.

We return with another great show! Marquette ended its regular season with a loss against St. John's. Can they make a deep run in the Big East tournament, in fact, a championship run in the tourney to find a way into the NCAA tournament. Can UW-Milwaukee, who upset top-seeded UW-Green Bay in the Horizon League tournament, beat Wright State and punch their ticket to the dance in a Cinderella story? Will Wisconsin beat Nebraska, and how do they fare in the Big Ten tournament next week? Can they be a #1 seed, or will they stay at a #2 seed? Plus the Green Bay Packers re-signed Sam Shields. Was this a good signing? We discuss. Jake will break down what he say at UW's pro day. Who helped themselves?

This will be a great roundtable discussion about where the program has gone in the past 20 years, and what we think will come under Coach Andersen.

Matt Flynn comes in place of former Badgers Scott Tolzien and sparks the Green Bay Packers against the Minnesota Vikings. Can he lead them against the Detroit Lions in a KEY NFC North match-up on Thanksgiving? We'll discuss. Plus, we break down the Chris Borland and the Wisconsin Badgers dominant defensive performance against Philip Nelson and the Minnesota Golden Gophers. Where will the Badgers wind up in the BCS standings this week, and can they get an at-large bid with Michigan State owning the Legends Division and moving up in the standings as well?
