I agree. I played high school in the 80's and we all knew the dangers of concussions. The helmets had warnings with them also. Suing Riddell is dumb as hell. They all knew the risks. Many of them have probably blown all they had and are in debt up to their arse and looking for an easy payday. The NFL and Riddell needs to start making players sign something like a "prenup" in which they admit and know the risks and won't hold either party(NFL or Riddell) responsible or they can't play.

Even now, the focus wrongly continues to be on concussions and not on repeated, unremarkable, low-grade blows. I'd take 5 career concussions as a QB all day long over a career as an interior lineman with no concussions.
You state this rather adamantly considering the question remains unanswered by science.

Nah. That was talking about acute injuries. Almost literally nobody associated football with long-term, degenerative brain disease and/or early-onset dementia.
The connection between repeated head trauma and brain disease had been established as early as the 1930s through pro boxers.
Pretty easy breakdown from there.
Repeated head trauma causes brain damage
There is repeated head trauma in football
Football players run the risk of getting brain damage

All they have to do is find a clip or two of these idiots using bad form when tackling, or otherwise putting themselves in bad position - contrary to how they're coached - and lawsuit is over.
That said, football is pretty much a dead man walking in the sports world. Between sissies, SJW's, kneelers, and litigation, the sport will die away.
I wonder what they'll do with all of these stadiums.

Meh....pussies.
Motocross/freestyle star Travis Pastrana has had several DOZEN concussions and was knocked unconscious more than 20 times by his mid-20s.
You don’t see him whining.

This shite is getting old. No one forced these guys to play and most times, they were the ones who wanted to get back in the game ASAP.
It's absurd to willingly do something then try to claim otherwise later, but apparently that's where we are in society today with #metoo.
Spot on. And I assume they will give all those millions back?
