NY Giants news, 3/23: Odell Beckham, Cam Skattebo, more

Although Skattebo has walked back his comments, Brian Sutterer, a sports medicine doctor, said the damage has been done. Sutterer criticized Skattebo in a video he posted on his YouTube channel for downplaying the effects of asthma.

“What are we doing to make fun of the idea that somebody needs to use an inhaler to minimize their asthma exacerbation?” Sutterer said. “Asthma exacerbations can kill you. Asthma is even more of a real, provable, true thing than CTE.”

Sutterer added that he is worried anyone who is a fan of Skattebo could hear what he said and begin to bully people who use an inhaler when playing football. He also worries that players who do use them may decide to stop using them during practices and games, potentially getting seriously hurt because they do not want to be teased.

“I don’t know who this ‘Bring the Juice’ guy is, but to even throw out a question suggesting asthma is fake is not funny,” Sutterer said. “It’s not humorous. It might be funny if you’re 10 years old and don’t know anything about science. This is not funny. This is just uninformed.”
