Kendrick Bourne on electrical substation injury theory: "I kind of buy it"

Our Summary

San Francisco 49ers receiver Kendrick Bourne has commented on a conspiracy theory linking the team's injury rates to the nearby electrical substation at their practice facility. Bourne, who described himself as a conspiracy theorist, expressed some belief in the theory, noting differences in grass quality near the substation. He mentioned that General Manager John Lynch is considering looking into the matter. While Bourne acknowledged that opinions on the theory vary among players, he personally finds the situation peculiar. The 49ers have used the facility since 1988, and the team faces the challenge of addressing public perception while dealing with the physical demands of football. The possibility of relocating the practice facility has been suggested as a solution.
