Women's basketball question... bands?

[fevans]

May be Germans, but...WTF are these "bands" some of the women are wearing around their necks during games? I hope this is some sort of performance enhancing device...

Dallas Cowboys wore them as well.

It's a Q-collar.

Q30: Brain Protection, FDA-Cleared Q-Collar

Q30 developed the Q-Collar - the only FDA-cleared sports and tactical equipment that is proven to help protect brains from the effects of repetitive sub-concussive head impacts. Worn on the neck of pros in football, lacrosse, soccer and more!

Yeah, I did some googling and figured it out. It's for concussions apparently.

In other words, it's the next sleeve.

A lot of NFL players wearing them now too. I had to look them up a few weeks back because they were everywhere

Some women like being choked and in the name of women’s rights, we should accept and encourage that.

So football players no longer have to wear a helmet? **

 

[TaleofTwoDogs]

I wasn't aware that "repetitive sub-concussive head impacts" was an issue in women's basketball. Maybe to boost attendance they added it kinda' like a roller derby. I'll go see that.

The amount of complete BS that generates sales revenue in this country is a bit frightening.

If I'm off base here I know SPS will straighten me out.

I have not seen people wearing these, but it is an interesting concept: Jugular vein compression.
I can see these being used in mountain biking. My wife got a concussion while riding at Kanuga Bike Park in 2020. Based on the Q30 literature, her recovery would have been much better.

I see a Brett Favre commercial in the near future.

Assuming he can fit it into his busy schedule of speaking appearances.
