Real and just an excuse for poor performance. He went further, calling asthma fake as well, during the same interview where he dismissed these medical conditions outright. Scots of O plays a hard-hitting style, always seeking contact on the field, which raises questions about his long-term health and a sport full of risks. League officials have ramped up player safety measures in recent years to protect athletes from head injuries and other issues tied to the games, violence. While the Giants want their key players staying healthy for the season ahead, Skatebo's views clash with established science on brain health and respiratory conditions.
