The United States Supreme Court will not hear an appeal of the concussion settlement sought by some former players and family members of deceased former players.

The settlement was reached by the NFL and covers more than 20,000 retired players for financial payouts estimated at around $1 billion based on brain injuries linked to concussions suffered during their playing careers. With the appeal halted, the process of delivering those payouts can begin and the NFL said that they plan to do that in a statement regarding the Supreme Court’s ruling.

“We are pleased that the Supreme Court has decided not to review the unanimous and well-reasoned decisions of Judge [Anita] Brody and the Third Circuit approving the settlement of the is litigation,” the league said in its statement. “We look forward to working with Class Counsel and Judge Brody to implement the settlement and provide the important benefits that our retired players and their families have been waiting to receive.”

Those arguing against the settlement claimed that it did not provide enough for players whose brain injuries have yet to be revealed, but the court found the ruling by Judge Brody was a fair one.

Concussion lawsuits which can cost the NFL billions can be mitigated and reduced if linked to players intentionally paying to injure each other.

In the case of Coach B, he cost the league no money with or without his actions. It is all theater with the appearance of fair play. Changing the discussion by calling names and not analyzing the link between concussion lawsuits and bountygate is a tool of the paid troll or useful idiot.

Are you both?

Just for Forrest. May you win your Darwin Award, soon.

In the words of Marcus Tullius Cicero:

“A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear.”
