Typical that a bunch of ignoramus yahoos would side with the rich organization. Very common amongst white southerners to support an organization that doesnt even pay taxes but then criticize the poor for welfare.
Do any of you have the same view towards people that willingly join the military? They knew it was dangerous but they have some help.
Funny of you jackasses to watch, from the safety of your couch, and be entertained by people hitting each other then claiming that they dont deserve to get any help from healthcare. What if players decided to quit playing bc of health risks? Would you change your mind?
At the very least, the NFL should have a program that researches the condition and allows free treatment for all former players. That way, no one gets money but people are taken care of.

When was the last time a veteran signed a multimillion dollar signing bonus?
Oh and frick you for comparing playing a game for profit, to risking life protecting your country.

Please explain this to me......Do the individual clubs not pay taxes? If the league had to pay taxes it would effectively be double taxation. No different than how any other trade organization works....but keep spouting the uninformed stupid talking points you hear...rabble rabble rabble rabble

they make millions of dollars playing a game! I think that they can afford their own insurance policy.

That's exactly what the NFL needs to do. The corporation has plenty of money to throw around.

AWW YEAH, LETS TAKE THIS LINE BY LINE!
Way to attack the posters, and not the subject. I side with rich and poor, it just matters the issue.
The NFL doesn't pay taxes because they disperse the revenues to the teams, WHO PAY TAXES. You think Jerry Jones is making that money tax free? You're insane.
What does the military have to do with this? That is a truly terrible comparison. These players chose to not negotiate that into their contracts, thereby increasing the total value they were paid.
If a player quit because they valued their body, I would not mind. Plenty of players have left the game early because they were scared of the effects. Javhid Best is actually suing the NFL WHEN THEY KEPT HIM OUT OF GAMES DUE TO A HEAD INJURY.
THEY SHOULD HAVE COLLECTIVELY BARGAINED FOR THIS. They should have left some money on the table and bargained for this. It is their fricking fault.
