Flyers trainers sue Comcast after cancer diagnoses

What a horrible story.

Jim McCrossin, Flyers' Director of Medical Services and with the team since 1998-99 and Sal Raffa, assistant athletic trainer since 2006, are both suing team ownership after receiving diagnoses of incurable blood diseases and/or cancer in the Spring and Summer of 2021.

McCrossin and Raffa are alleging that they were exposed on the workplace to cancer-causing carcinogens in the team's training facilitee in Vorhees. According to them, the cause of their diseases was because of the excessive exposure to cancer-causing carcinogens released from Zambonis. They explain that the training room was next to the room where Zambonis were parked. They are allegedly still on while parked.




In the case of the Flyers organization, here's what they had to say on this.


Jim McCrossin, who is 64 years old, developed thrombocythemia, myeloproliferative neoplasm and myelofibrosis (basically blood cancer), which is incurable. Sal Raffa also developed thrombocythemia.
