NFL Sued for Allegedly Concealing Brain Injury Risks









The suit seeks unspecified damages.

Either the NFL takes care of their own or we do when they go on disability. The sport generates billions annually and they can't take care of those crippled and maimed by the sport - pathetic.

"no evidence of worsening injury or chronic ***ulative effects" from multiple concussions."

That's counter-intuitive. Besides, research has shown that it puts people at a greater risk of a variety of psychiatric and neurological disorders, such as Alzheimer's disease and dementia pugilistica.

Heck, research has shown that retired American football players who have suffered from three or more concussions are at a significantly greater risk of developing clinical depression.

I guess it is the same law suit that the woman who sued McDonalds with. Coffee is hot, do not spill it on your lap. Football is hard, getting hit on the head may give you a concussion, and concussions are bad.

Really how stupid are these players????? Do they need their entire helmet covered with saftey stickers like our cars are?

They should sign an agreement when they come into the league. That says "You are going to get hurt, you may end up crippled and out of your mind, do you still want to play football? ____yes ____no...please sign at the X ____________________.....

If they sign, they can lay and make millions. If they don't sign, they can go to walmart and be a greeter.

The NFL is run by people who used to play football. They all have multiple brain injuries and many are technically brain dead. So of course they forgot to warn players about brain concussions. They´re lucky if they can remember how to tie their shoes.

If the NFL KNEW and WITHHELD this information they should held accountable. IMO, boxing should have been looked into decades ago.

I have not read all of the comments so this may have already been said: EVERYONE knows that playing football (or really, any sport) can lead to injury. I mean, you're not playing barbie doll people. So its the NFL and Riddels fault that you more then likely took all of that money you made and blew it so now you have none left?! Grow a pair and get over it you ungrateful morons. This is another example of a useless, stupid lawsuit.

Ok, I'm in shock that these "NFL Football Players" that are suing didn't know that getting hit in the head was going to cause injury. Everybody knows this dumb asses! It's common sense, people (DUH!)!! Come on, even a 12 year old kid could have told you that. You don't need studies to tell you that. Give me a damn break. These guys are just money hungry SOB's! What idiots

Concussions can also lead to Chris Benoit syndrome.

I'm shocked. Are these players really that stupid? It's stupid lawsuits like this, that make people want to come here. "Hmmmm, let's see. If I spill hot coffee on me, I can sue. If I do other stupid things, I can sue more." I mean really? Are Americans going to have to have warning labels on EVERYTHING?????
