The injuries are work related and are a responsibility of the employer.
The players are being paid market rate for the value they bring to the business, not for the long term health effects of the work they do.
Because the employers have refused to do what is right their business is going to end as we know it before much longer.
They were paid market rate for hte value they bring to the business, that is true. But ... did the contracts they signed stipulate medical care coverage? If not, why not? Yet they signed the contracts anyway. Sounds to me their respective agents should’ve pursued that little detail.
And..their medical care they received with their respective teams is far and away what common folk receive.
