Unfortunately for the players they have 1 of 2 options...

1. Play football, get paid millions, risk potential brain damage

2. Don't play football, don't make millions, don't get brain damage

As long as players are informed of the risks, there is no reason things should change. If they are willing to take the risk then let them. If the NFL keeps trying to dumb down the product everyone will end up with option #2 because no one will want to watch.

For a long time the NFL tried to cover-up the fact that brain damage was a risk

Soccer players worldwide literally put NFL pay to shame.

Take the highest paid NFL player, and there are at least five to ten soccer players making much more a year, especially after endorsements.
