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

Randy Jones said

I read the article. My response is meant for those who seem to think that NFL players knowing the risk shouldnt be covered by workers comp laws simply because they make lot of money and know there is risk of injury. However this argument is inconsistent with existing workers comp laws.

The reason I said read it is because too many arguments and seemingly yours also, are talking like "the system" is screwing the players when in reality, the players are trying to work the system and then screaming "poor me" when they get rejected...

Essentially, when a player is injured, lets say he blows out a knee, he gets medical treatment until the injury is completely recovered then he goes on to play and eventually retires our doesn't make a team.... Then 15 years later, he tries to file a workers comp claim because he needs a new knee or is having tons of pain... That's why they're getting rejected...

This is where I have problems... You abuse something, in this case your body, and then when it turns out bad, you blame everyone else.... Poor me poor me!!

I'm a huge take responsibility for your actions guy and get lots of thumbs down cuz this country is now a huge "everyone else is responsible" country
