this wasn't a great settlement at all for the players.
Well, I guess they were looking actually having to prove that their particular injury came from football. Some are saying that this could have possibly taken years and they could have ended up with nothing. SO, I guess, both parties could say they win....or lose, depends on how you look at it.

Absolutely. I think the former players were facing a tough fight proving that their particular injuries/illnesses were conclusively caused by playing football. $765 million is nothing to sneeze at, but with the amount of plaintiffs involved, that doesn't amount to an astronomical amount per plaintiff. Probably a good settlement overall because I'm sure niether of the parties are extremely happy about it (except for the lawyers).
