Isn’t it a voluntary assumption of a known risk?

From my reading the suits are predicated on the league publishing a report that lied about the concussion risks, both the risks of getting them at all and the risk of permanent damage once you have one. Everybody knew there was some level of risk, but if the league actually did lie to them about that level of risk they’ve got a case.

Absolutely! McMahon knew it was an extremely violent game. He made millions off that violence.

All of sudden, he says, why didn’t the league tell me it was violent?

athletics when explained by the medical field by example is 2 different things and how many football players are doctors of medicine

mid 70’s in Texas in August during 2 a day practices

if you asked for water you were laughed at, scoffed, and singled out

concussions ? if you had one and your eyes untangled, you proved you were not a sissy.....to who ? a coach w/o a dimes medical experience

these players are not whiners but examples of why the evolution of football safety is necessary

football players today are bigger, faster, and effective

why then should not the head and the heads safety evolve too

after all, we’ve seen the consequences of a concussion’s past

McMahon’s head was messed up before he got concussions
