You're right, they are ok getting paid millions but want to blame the NFL for head injuries they knew were part of the risks. What about blue collar factory workers and construction workers, I'm sure they sustain ailments from their jobs but they don't get shit. They know it's part of doing physical work. These millionaire babies always with their hands out.
Sf1900 I don't follow football either but I follow wrestling and some of these guys are doing the same concussion shit the NFL players are doing. I like how former WWE wrestler Lance Storm put it; he said they are all adults and knew the risks going in. I could probably find the audio if anyone is interested.
Worker's compensation? Blue collar workers do get compo, just not to same extent, but they are not earning the same.
The issue was that there was a cover-up. The concussion issue was known, and the causes, but it was consciously ignored, stated not to be a risk, and rule changes were not implemented.
The helmets are a large reason for concussions... that and shitty tackling. They never wrap arms around player, they shoulder charge like idiots relying on padding. It is spreading to other sports now, or else more awareness, but how can you stop people getting bigger (hence bigger collisions) or people tackling more aggressively? You can't - just don't lie about it. NFL lied.
