“The lawyers”. Why don’t we wait and see what happens. The NFL actively hid research and information regarding head trauma and concussions from the players. That’s where they ****ed up. If they had been upfront and then worked to make the game safer years ago, then there wouldn’t be lawsuits and breaking news today. There is some acceptable level of danger, guys get concussions in all team sports. The difference is that in no other team sports do you have multiple hits to the head on literally every play. Football fundamentally is a game where head trauma has to occur. That’s way way way different from soccer, hockey, baseball, and basketball. In all those sports head trauma CAN occur and DOES occur, but not at the rates of football because every single play isn’t about hitting a guy across from you and knocking them to the ground.
