NS.. ex-NFL players sue league... It's starting to make sense now

Ex-NFL players sue league over brain injuries - CBS News

I get it but i don't get it... Now i understand why league is hurting the game by calling these nonsense pernalties.. They're simply trying to protect themselves..

Here's my problem with this and why I didn't see this coming.. What did these players think was going to happen ramming their heads and the rest of their body into other people and the ground at full speed????

I cannot for the life of me understand the law... Isn't it a reasonable epectation that if I do dirt diving from 20 feet that there will probably be some long term negitive effect on my body and how can an employer be held responsible??? You could have chosen to NOT play... go get a regular job that there are less health risks.

I can understand if the league kept information from the players but whats to hide? You play football or box long enough, you're going to have some head trama. Whats next, ex baseball catchers sue MBL because their knees hurt when they got older... no crap

I have a huge problem with people who make bad decisions and then try to get money when the effect doesn't please them... They had a choice to do something that didn't include ramming their head into other people at full speed.. They did it cuz there was nothing else they could do to make the money that they made and probably wizzed it all away..

I'm amazed that the NFL didn't or doesn't have something in the contracts or whatever to protect themselves from this..
