Proximity to electrical substation catches fire as potential explanation for 49ers' injuries

An unusual theory has emerged regarding the San Francisco 49ers' recent spate of injuries, linking them to the team's practice facility's proximity to an electrical substation operated by Silicon Valley Power. The theory suggests that low-frequency electromagnetic fields could potentially weaken tendons and cause soft-tissue damage. However, medical experts have stated that there is no scientific basis for this connection. The 49ers have been using this facility since 1988, achieving significant success, including winning three Super Bowls. Despite the recent injury to tight end George Kittle, the team continues to compete strongly for a Super Bowl berth. The organization faces the challenge of addressing concerns raised by former players who have entertained this theory.
