the fact that the former players have any recourse whatsoever is a joke. imo, it's the equivalent of a soldier suing the military because he suffers from ptsd. you know the risks before stepping on the respective fields of battle.
i'm all in favor of the league taking care of the players and their families, but not to the tune of multimillion dollars

Totally different. If the military lied to its soldiers about the risks of going to war and about PTSD, then they'd get sued. And lose.

You're speaking in hindsight. The players did not know the full extent of the risks. Us fans didn't either.
The NFL did know, hid the findings, and flat out denied all the research shown to them for years before finally conceding.
