The next NFL contracts might have disclousures and release waivers..it's possible..

OTOH, it is also true that going back 30-40 years..we really didn't understand the danger of concussions.."Getting your bell run" and then going right back in the game..showed how tough you were...and don't forget..many can rememebr when during summer practices..coaches NFL, College, and HS wouldn't allow the players to drink water...now, they FORCE them to drink..Bear Bryant, when he coached Texas A&M..was famous for NO WATER...it's amazing that more didn't die of dehydration/oberheating

Amazing! These people, more often than not, were responsible for the collisions which caused their concussions, and, were being paid enough money to buy their own health care to address these injuries. Now, they want other people to pay for their self-abusive activities. Wow!
