dr. bennett omalu, welcome to the program. >> thank you so much. >> yep, thank you for having us. >> it's great to see you both. and you, brett, are a hall of famer. you are legendary in your sport. and i just wanted to ask you first, what thoughts are going through your mind right now, given that in a couple of days, we'll be watching the super bowl. >> oh, there's a game? this is the time of year when i do miss the game. often, i get asked, do i miss it? this is the time where i think all players who spend any time in the nfl would say that they miss the game. so it should be an interesting matchup and, you know, new england's been there before and before and before and this will be a test for philadelphia. but i'm excited about it. >> so just quickly before i dig deeper into the concussion, what's your prediction, brett? who's going to win? >> well, my good friend, longtime friend, dear friend of mine is the head coach for philadelphia and that's doug peterson. great guy. has done a wonderful job there. and i'm pulling for him. but i would say, i'm not a betting man, but if i were, it

dr. bennett, with the department of public health. thank you for being here. >> i'm dr. bennett, director of interdivisional initiatives, which means that i do work that crosses from environmental health and health education and those things and the san francisco health network, which has our hospitals and clinics and behavioral health come poep -- component, so i deal with the data on both sides, which is how i get to be here. so the department uses data pretty extensively. we have very little choice about having the data. most of the time large amounts of data are required almost us for state, federal or grant-related reporting. and the medical records that are used for clinical care. so we have lots of data. and we also use data for program planning, for billing, for services, but most importantly, we use data to improve program quality and service delivery and health quality. so we do that by tracking outcomes. we do it for directing programming to populations most at need or patients most at need. and for evaluating and setting policy. so i'm going to give just a few

dr. bennett amalu. >> thank you for having >> the winter olympics are under way. sports are on a lot of people's minds. what should parents of children under 18 know about contact sports? >> well,it's always been my position knowing what i know that no child the age of 18 should play the high mpt, high contact sports. the big six are american football, ice hockey, mixed martial arts, boxing, wrestling, and rugby. in these games, in every play, your child suffers wl s blows t h id. there no safe blow to the head. repeated blows to the head brain damage. if your child plays football, even after just one sean, your child has sufferedir versible, irrepairabl the brain does not have any reasonable capacity to egenerate itself. i've looked up thousands of brain cells in brains and have yet to see a braint cell t is dividing normally. once your braincell is damaged, that's it. >> this is such a big issue for many parents. even me. i have an 11-year-old daughter who is starting to get into team sports at ool. what about things like lacrosse or soccer, are they se? >> yes.

dr. bennett -- may we adjust the presentation schedule just a little bit, miss deberry has a time crunch. welcoming christine deberry. >> i appreciate the indulgence. apparently everything is scheduled on this date. christine soto-deberry. pleased to be here before all of you and to present on this very important topic. can you hear me? sorry. i'm not tall enough. >> it's good. >> latino, i'm short but in heels. >> but powerful. >> i'm going to be as brief as i can. i know there are many presenters with a lot of interesting information. i want to extend that i'm happy to have conversations away from this commission meeting with you the public or commissioners to fill you in on the work we do. we have a lot of passion around data and equity issues it imindicates. i won't cover everything here tonight but we want to be a partner with you in this effort. so traditionally district attorney offices are not big for data, concerns over what it may reveal, for our good fortunate, our office has incentive to collect data and react to it in positive ways to lead in important areas people expect us

dr. king's assassination. >> well, that's another thing that michael bennett says in the book we're doing, he said to me, i haven so people understand that the nfl is not integrated. that integration is a myth because while the players are of course interest grated, power is not integrated. and because the average career is just three and a half years, players come and go. that's why they say nfl stands for not for long. but when you're in that ownership box, you are perpetual and jerry jones. >> people need to know that when they sit in a room and decide the fate of a colin kaepernick or michael bennett, it's an exclusive white room of owners. thank you, dave zirin. up next, my final thoughts. this new day. looks nothing like yesterday. roads nowhere to be found. and it's exactly what you're looking for. this is frank. sup! this is frank's favorite record. this is frank's dog. and this is frank's record shop. frank knowns northern soul, but how to set up a limited liability company... what's that mean? not so much. so he turned to his friends at legalzoom. yup! they hooked me up. we helped with his llc, contra
