The big thing with the whole issue is the NFLs blatant lies about saying the game is safe and concussions aren't an issue. Remember, the league didn't even recognize CTE or any issue with concussions until about 5 years ago. I don't agree with current players complaining about the league's safety and concussions since now the research and data is out there, but former players in my book have every right to compensatory damages from the league. The NFL flat out lied to players up until 5 years ago, even going so far as sending out pamphlets to all players saying concussions were a non-issue to their health AFTER the whole CTE issue started popping up. The league absolutely should have been doing prior studies on players after they retire to see how they were affected by concussions sustained through the years, especially with their brazen claims of the league being completely safe. Hell, when they finally did start studying concussions in the Tagliabue era, the committee they formed didn't even have a specialist in neurology **** head the committee, it was goddamn rheumatologist.
tl;dr current players have the data telling them how this will **** them up, so they have no right to claims. Former players have every right to claims against the league because of negligence and lies by the league.
If you havent, go watch the Frontline documentary League of Denial.
