Rose wears a certain type of tape that is beneficial to the health of his neck and they have told him not to wear it. WTF??? Instead of worrying about flopping and referees rigging games, they are worried about things that help players.
What kind of black neck tape "alleviates soreness"? Is this a legit medical thing or is it more scammy Power Balance bull crap?
Okay, just looked it up, it's a bunch of homeopathic nonsense like Power Balance bracelets. Really makes me think less of Rose's intelligence that he buys into this crap, thought he was smarter than that. Studies have shown no significant effect on pain relief.
