The end of football as a national passion?
Dan Marino joins concussion lawsuit against the NFL
The suit above is odd - as Marino never claimed to have a concussion but is suing?
I just heard a sports attorney say "we want the game to be safe".
How can a game be safe when the entire game focuses on very large men with highly developed muscles throwing each other to the ground?
Is he proposing touch football? The only way to make football as we know it in the US "safe" is to change the game completely so no one runs into anyone else. Do you think fans will show up for that?
I always thought that's one reason sports figures earned such big bucks for playing a game....because of the physical risk involved.
Why not establish a huge fund to pay medical costs and 'damages' - which is what the players want? Fund part of it with a percentage of player's salaries. For each player signed the management would have to pay a percentage of the salary into a fund - and the player would have to do the same.
I'm not a football fan so maybe I don't get it. I know people who have pain from tendonitis, carpal tunnel, neck problems - all caused by the physical motions required of the job they did for years. Their surgery and care is covered by insurance or by them - or they go on disability payments if necessary.
Why should high paid football players get more? If it's true teams lied about shots or meds given, that's one thing and should be addressed and perhaps payments made. If it's that players didn't know they might have long term injuries from playing a violent sport....that's not logical to me.
