It seems like there is an implied assumption of risk when playing a violent sport if it isn't explicitly defined in their contracts
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.

Yeah that's obviously a problem
I'm not defending the NFL here. I'm just saying it shouldn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that repeated regular head trauma is going to be bad for you. No helmet can protect you from that type of abuse.

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 that is bad. Can they not prove they were given bad information and that it wasn't intentional? That might be their best shot to survive this.
