Looks like it's time to change that pad down low. Anus is leaking too much now.

The part of the NFL denying it existed, pretty sure there are articles with quotes from the NFL denying it.
the NFL isn't a medical expert. there are still disagreements about the effects today. i saw neuros criticize that study that just made the public rounds a few weeks ago. that's not a real argument against the NFL
and the studies aren't hidden. what prevented the NFLPA from looking up studies or players individually from getting independent medical treatment/advice? nothing. hell, the NFLPA is as liable as the NFL

Does anyone have links to the articles where the NFL denies that there is a problem with brain injuries? I'd be interested in reading those.
Was there a waiver specifically warning players of other injuries they may incur while playing football (cervical spine fractures with paralysis/death, ACL injuries, arm/leg fractures, sports hernias, turf toe, etc.), while specifically omitting head injuries from the list?

I could see the league trying to exclude the latest crop of players on the argument that by the time they came into the league, the danger of head injuries was well publicized.

Good hopefully the NFL dies off over the next 10 years.
I won't, it will probably never go away. And if you don't like it, don't watch or pay attention to it.
What will happen is the lower levels of football will be crippled. Eventually many pee wee type leagues and even some High Schools will have to drop it over insurance costs. Which has all kinds of unintended consequences. such is life of the Land of the Safe and the home of the dependant.

It's either they knew and lied, or they were just completely wrong and are saying the opposite now as they did then.

quote:
NFL commissioner Roger Goodell did not acknowledge a connection between head injuries on the football field and later brain diseases while defending the league's policies on concussions before Congress on Wednesday.
That frustrated several members of the House Judiciary Committee, including the committee chairman, Michigan Democrat John Conyers, when Goodell told him the NFL isn't waiting for that debate to play out and is taking steps to make the game safer.
"I just asked you a simple question. What is the answer?" persisted Conyers.
Goodell replied by saying a medical expert could give a better answer than he could. But some House members complained later that Dr. Ira Casson, chairman of the NFL's committee on concussions, had not testified.
Rep. Linda Sanchez, D-Calif., gave Casson some exposure anyway, playing a clip of a TV interview in which he denied evidence of a link between multiple head injuries in NFL players with brain disorders such as dementia and Alzheimer's.

If the NFL were to die off, so would high level college football.

It won't die off, has any industry suffered more lawsuits and been found to lie about health risks more than the tobacco indusrty? They are still around.

Tigerbait's first link is probably even better. It's an article about the NFL's expert on the subject dismissing the link.
