They have a chance with the libs out in LA, but from there, it’ll get bounced. No pun intended....

That’s “Ottis”. Who can tell how many of the concussions are from college or High School?

I wonder what percentage of Rugby players get concussions as opposed to NFL players, better yet, how many concussions were there back when they played with leather helmets.

...because they had no idea that concussions were an inherent part of life in the NFL.

Here is a settlement for them. They can work for 20% of their pay now and put the other 80% in a fund to cover their “potential” injuries in old age. That should make them happy... ;-)

This is pathetic.
What next entertainers suing the public for making them get plastic surgery to look like fools?

They say that people with concussions repeat themselves a lot. They say that people with concussions repeat themselves a lot.

Shame on the NFL for FORCING those poor men to take all that money to play a game they loved since childhood. And shame on the NFL for not telling them that repeatedly being knocked unconscious can cause medical problems. Who would have ever imagined such a thing?

I'm sure now that the dangers of concussions are known, all current NFL players will retire and find a safer line of work. After all, nobody, knowing the risk, would willingly risk their health for millions of dollars, right? /sarc

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!
