A rational person also wouldn't trust the NFL's hired experts.
i don't. the problem is that the Union didn't even get experts because the players gave 0 fricks about concussions

Giving a shite about your employees' health doesn't make you an emotional nutcase.
player safety is directly negotiated in the CBA
that's why there are fewer practices, OTAs, etc. the NFLPA gave a shite about THAT aspect of player safety and negotiated for it

But reducing it to merely an issue of emotion makes me wonder if you're a sociopath.
i'm talking about analysis and argument. emotional arguments are basically worthless
ignoring reality to make the NFL a bad guy instead of the organization that had a duty to the players is an emotional argument
this is a 2 question discussion
is player safety an area negotiated in the CBA? yes
is the NFLPA the organization with a duty to the players when negotiating the CBA? yes

The NFLPA has allowed its own members wear outdated and equipment that's not even manufactured anymore and bargained out the practice and game helment out of use in NFL.
I do not understand why they yell safety yet have negotiated to allow an unsafe practices regarding the most essential equipment to continue.

An emotional argument is one where you're predictably taking the same side all the time, blaming the same kinds of "culprits" while reaffirming your one-dimensional worldview. Some people blame the NFL; some apparently blame the union. You predictably fall into the latter group. In reality, everyone is to blame. That's the rational take in this scenario.
You've also managed to explain why the media, comprised of humans, might blame the soulless, big bad corporation.
Also, tying this whole ordeal to feminists doesn't strike me as rational and emotionless.
