So I should SUE the US Government right?  My Head hurts....  Who knew FIGHTING Wars and taking Head Shots would cause this.  THEY HID IT FROM ME

 

If you feel your employer knowingly concealed information that caused you permanent injury while on the job, you might want to consider it. At the very least, I wouldn't hold it against people who do.

Le Ron started playing in NFL 2007, the risks were known.  Even when i was a kid everyone knew like a boxer you can end up with serious mental issues, the entire stereotype of the dumb football player.

 

No According to Some The lawsuit for the players in the 60-70s Mean that these new players didnt know

Cool here is a RECENT one..  LET me HIGHLIGHT the KEY

 

Study: Concussions Aren't the Link to CTE

 

New research on chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) concludes that it's not concussions that cause the condition, but repeated traumatic brain injuries (TBIs)—the kind experienced by more people than just those involved in contact sports. Authors of the study also call for more clarity when it comes to concussion—which they describe as a syndrome—versus TBI, a tissue-damaging event that can happen with or without concussion.

 

AGAIN....with more research, the more findings.  They will continue to find more from now and until the future.

It's like your arguing they haven't made any advancements in their studies since McLain started playing.  Geezus.

Now tell me how McClain (started in the NFL in 2007) was deceived?

This should honestly be a bigger deal out there than it is. Current players and former players are definitely having issues. Back in the day before social media, it wasn't seen and rarely talked about; however with twitter, instagram, TMZ etc it is kinda hard to ignore this and not see it. This is a really big issue for not only the game, but for these affected players and their families. It's really sad to see and makes me question how I feel as a fan...

I agree with all your points except the first sentence. It IS talked about a lot and it is currently a big deal.

A lot of occupations involve risks, a lot of occupations we learn more and more about the risk every year.  The NFL is no different.  

 

Was the knowledge out there that football could cause mental issues, yes it certainly was.  Do we know more today, yes and well will know even more about the risk 10 years from now, just about the time the lawyers fees are too big and they outlaw football.

It's not about being "a dumb football player" it's about having the opportunity to make an amount of money that no other avenue of life would have provided them.  There's a lot of athletes that grow up in poverty, and this is there only chance to not only bring themselves out of it, but the rest of their families, present and future generations.

Then we can all watch effete europhiles play soccer. I pray I die before THAT comes to fruition.

If he said "i care" would that make you feel better?  Would that make the players feel better?
