Santa Clara, California – San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kite Interrupted teammate Fred WarnerAn interview to break some news on NFL network on Tuesday afternoon, which has disturbed them from the league.
Kittle crashed the set to “Air A Complaint” that the League informed the teams through a memorandum on Tuesday morning that it had banned the use of ammonia and smelling salts before and during all NFL Games.
According to Memo, the onset of this season, teams are “prohibited from providing or supplying or supplying ammonia in any form.” It includes ammonia capsules, inhalers, ammonia in a cup and any form of “smelling salts”. This applies to the entirety of a game, which includes pregem activities and hapty, and applies to the locker room and to the sideline.
Memo says the ban comes as a result of FDA warning that was released in 2024.
“In 2024, the FDA issued a warning to companies that produce commercially available ammonia inhalates (AIS), as well as consumers about the purchase and use of AIS, to consumers, AIS safety or efficacy supporting evidence that has been marketed to enhance mental alertness or promotional energy about the lack of evidence supporting AIS, security or efficacy. “FDA noted potential negative effects from the use of AI. AIS has the ability to mask some neurological signs and symptoms, including some possible signs.
“Consequently, the NFL Head, Neck and Spine Committee recommended the use of AIS for any purpose during NFL Play.”
Hours after that memo was received in San Francisco, the casual team’s facility was popped into an NFL network set, while Warner was talking about the upcoming season.
“I came here honestly to broadcast only one complaint,” said Katal. “Our team has got a memo today that the salts and ammonia packets were made illegal in NFL, and I am distraught all day.”
Kittle said that he is a regular user to smell salt, taking them to promote energy before every aggressive drive, “I already remember.”
The ninth year’s tight end jokingly said that the memo was harassing him to think about calling him a career.
“I consider retirement,” Katal jokingly said. “We have come to know a middle ground here, friends. Somebody helps me.
