that's not the issue. the issue is that the NFL researched it, then lied to the NFLPA about the results. They intentionally lied to players about it.
that is bad, but i always wondered why the NFLPA didn't do it's on research
but the suits aren't being brought by the NFLPA, right? they're brought by former players
there are also some issues i'd imagine with the ability to even bring the claim. when was the lie they claim? how many CBAs have washed that liability clean since the lie?
there is also this real difficult issue
The "NFL" is 32 sepaarate businesses

Yeah, seems like they'd want their own research on the topic, independent from whatever the league did. That seems kinda odd.
I'd also be interested in the details of what exactly the NFl lied about, and how they did it...as in if there is some sort of loophole they could use to cover their asses with all this. It doesn't make much sense to lie about something like this. I realize they've made tons of money on that lie, but they'd have made tons of money with the truth too.
Doesn't make sense at all really, especially in the type of sport that it is...violent, repeated collisions, etc. Like most have said here, it takes about the intelligence of a child to realize that being in this sport can be bad for your head. So saying otherwise is just a blatantly stupid move.

I would like to know this.
Is the lie contained in the most current CBA?
ETA:
Was there actually a discernible "lie" in written form?
What generation of players can lay claim to have been "lied" to?
Who do they sue? The teams they played for? The NFL office? All 32 teams even if the owners have changed since their playing days?
