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

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

I'm not naming any names but I'm friends with a former player who was injured. He was given some very bad information from the team doctors which, in any other industry, would have qualified as malpractice. (thisinformation led to him being injured again more severely) This terrible information cost him millions of dollars since his contract was cancelled and he was traded and was forced to re-sign at league minimum. He was unable to sue because the nfl has an employment contract that players must sign which impedes them from suing another employee of the nfl. He was shafted pretty badly and it's unfortunate that the doctor, the team, and the nfl can't be held accountable for what happened to him. That's my $.02
