The Appeals Board denied reconsideration, finding insufficient California-based injury exposure. Applicant's argument that his California games were qualitatively more traumatic was unsupported by medical evidence. The Board affirmed that playing approximately 11% of games in California is insufficient to establish constitutional due process for jurisdiction under the precedent set in Federal Insurance Co. v. WCAB (Johnson).
