Report: UCLA Football Players Demand Additional Health Official Following 'Mismanaged Injury Cases'

UCLA football players are demanding that a "third-party health official" be present at all football activities to ensure COVID-19 prevention protocols are being followed, according to the Los Angeles Times' Brady McCollough.

Thirty UCLA football players reportedly met virtually Thursday night to craft a document that asserts that they do not trust head coach Chip Kelly's program to act in the players' best interest, writing that the school has “perpetually failed us.” In the letter, the players cite prior “neglected and mismanaged injury cases."

The demand of the additional health official is just one of their requests.
