So you think it's okay for an employer to knowingly suppress information regarding potential heath hazards to it's employees?

Overall? no.

In Javids case? I have no sympathy and don't see the NFL at fault in the least. THey cant stop him from googling. or talking to a doctor. doctors that told him multiple times he should retire

you mean suppress publicly available information?

besides, the NFLPA waived these claims in their CBA. his own union, which had his interests at heart, did not only fail to negotiate for this relief, but it failed to even give half a frick about the concussion issue itself (when it easily could have. this wasn't secret sorcery)

the NFL/Lions were very careful with Jahvid, and i believe they bent over backwards so that he could stay on a roster long enough to get a pension this year
