Do no harm: Who should bear the costs of retired NFL players’ medical bills?

Vacherie Saint said

Most of the people I know could give two **** about NFL football. Should they have to pay for Phil McConkey's knee surgery too? Your altruism (with other people's money) is pretty short sighted. If we can pay for NFL players med bills, why not the Mesothelioma crowd?

What is it for you to understand the practical outcome of "someone" has to pay?

If no one pays.....ultimately the taxpayers will....its always been like that. The ex-player has no insurance to begin with.....both the NFL & THE UNION HAVE BIG TIME LAWYERS WHO WILL GET THEIR CLIENTS OFF THE HOOK....well, who else is left?

The taxpayers.....that's who.

Unless is perfectly OK with you to keep these guys, for whom thousands of fans cheered for a long time....in this condition. Don't touch him.....he is no one's problem.....

What freaking twisted mentality....
