Update on the mysteriously silent Bennet Omalu Foundation<\/a>: The University of Pittsburgh said, just before Thanksgiving, that it still had no information on why the foundation website was shut down.

Twitter earlier this week purged @carryon123456, which is believed to be one of the several troll accounts by which Brooke de Lench of the MomsTeam Institute harasses critics of youth football — most particularly advocates who are mothers of dead players.<\/span><\/p>\n

The social media company said it had investigated and suspended @carryon123456 “as it was found to be participating in abusive behavior.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Last December and January, Concussion Inc. reported on how de Lench, whose organization was a marketing partner of the movie <\/span>Concussion<\/span><\/i>, smeared to a reporter for <\/span>Newsweek <\/span><\/i>a family that had lost a son to chronic traumatic encephalopathy. The links to the series are below.<\/span><\/p>\n
