Jahvid Best is suing the NFL

Free agent Jahvid Best is suing the NFL, alleging the league "knew about the risks of head injuries suffered by players, but didn’t do enough to protect them." Best is also suing helmet-maker Riddell. Best suffered three-known concussions during his two-year NFL career, the last of which ostensibly ended his playing days in October 2011. The suit is a clear sign he's officially given up on playing again even though he's only 24. A Cal graduate, Best is joining the Golden Bears' coaching staff for 2014.
One of the concussions he suffered while at Cal was one of the most frightening football injuries I've ever seen. He got catapulted into the air and landed on his head. I'm too lazy to look up the link.

What more would Mr. Best like the league to do to "protect" him?

That'll be the reason his case gets laughed out of court.

He displayed the involuntary "fencing reflex". Anytime that happens, it's scary.

Is that the one that he puked after? I remember him puking after getting hit once. They zoomed in on his face as he was on the ground when he did it.

Anybody who entered the league in 2010 and wasn't aware playing football could cause head injuries

Shitty move on his part.

Might as well

He single handedly won me my week 2 fantasy match up in 2010. I support his cause.

Ok so what i've gathered from today is that td.com both hates unions and when players sue. So basically y'all think players (and workers in general) should STFU and accept substandard conditions? I really don't understand the thought process. it sounds like you want to go back to the early 1900's when there was little to no worker protections at all.

Best of luck to him.

NFL should countersue.

As a Lions fan, I love Jahvid...but, if he could have found a single doctor to clear him after his final concussion, he would have made the decision to play again. Hard to side with him in this lawsuit given that.

I wonder how much more he would be suing for if the NFL cleared him to play again after his last concussion?
He tried for a full year and a half to get back in the league and they wouldn't let him back in.
