The tight end of San Francisco 49ers George Kittle crushed the interview of his teammate Fred Warner on Tuesday to broadcast a grievance he has with the League.
The League informed all the teams of a salt ban that felt before and during all NFL matches, and the tight end of the Bay region is not satisfied.
“Honestly, I just came here to broadcast a grievance,” Kittle said on NFL Network. “Our team has obtained a memo today that the smells that smell and the ammonia packages were made illegal in the NFL, and I was turned upside down all day.”

Kittle said he was a regular user of salts who feel, which gives him a boost of energy, before the offensive records.
“I already miss that,” he added.

The memo, supplied by ESPN, indicates that the teams are prohibited from “providing or providing ammonia in any form”, which includes ammonia capsules, inhalers, ammonia in a cup or any form of fragrant salts.
This will be applicable throughout the games, including pre-match activities and half-time in and out of the locker room as well as on the sidelines.
“In 2024, the FDA issued a warning to companies that produce ammonia inhalants (AIS) available in trade, as well as consumers on the purchase and use of AIS, concerning the lack of evidence supporting the safety or efficiency of the marketed AIS to improve mental vigilance or reinforcement energy,” read the memo, by ESPN. “The FDA noted the potential negative effects of using AI. AIS also have the potential to hide certain neurological signs and symptoms, including certain potential signs of concussion.

“Consequently, the committee of the head, neck and spine of the NFL recommended to prohibit the use of AIS at any end whatsoever during the NFL game.”
Kittle jokingly jokingly: “I considered retirement”, after reading the memo on Tuesday. However, he is probably not the only one to see this new directive in a bad light.
“We have to find common ground here, guys. Someone helps me. Someone has a good idea,” he said. “That’s all I had to get out. Get out of my chest.”

Kittle begins its ninth year in the NFL, all with the 49ers, and it has just taken another season with more than 1,000 yards. He had 78 receptions for 1,106 yards with eight affected.
The 31-year-old is one of the best in his position in the league, but he will have to find his energy increase in Gameday elsewhere in 2025 and beyond.
