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.

And when women and non-white males knew their place. Amirite?

Are you telling me today's players are not aware of the possibility of concussions of playing football? No one is forcing them to play in the NFL. They are very well compensated for engaging in dangerous work.

Masses on TD.com believe child labor laws interfere with every kid's right to enter into a contract.

Are you suggesting that Best wasn't aware of potential risks of playing NFL football. He played in 2012, not 1960. I'm also interested in hearing about the substandard conditions Best had to accept. Seems to me like NFL players get the best of the best when it comes to medical treatment.

Is this a joke? How can you make an argument for a union? How is the nfl liable for this guys concussion issue when he clearly had pre existing conditions from before?
He knowingly went into the game and was compensated for his work. At no point was he forced to do anything and it wasnt like he didnt know the dangers as he has had plenty of experience with concussions

I guess Best missed the cutoff date to join the litigation that was already brought?

His beef is with his union, not the nfl. He's suing the wrong party.

So at what point is the NFL considered to have provided full disclosure? Even with all the information they have now admitted to, any player at any point moving forward can claim that there has not been full disclosure. This is similar to the tobacco companies.
I think one of the determining factors will be: Are the dangers of concussions now so widely known that it is hard to claim lack of information (by whomever)? I don't know if we are there yet, but we are getting close to the point where risk about concussions in football is an axiom.
