NFL Faces Tobacco-Like Damages Reaching Billions Of Dollars In Concussion Litigation - Yahoo! Sports

"Should the plaintiffs, who appear to be growing in number by the day, eventually have their Master Complaint reach trial, it appears that the NFL could be confronted with the possibility of paying out tobacco-like damages reaching upwards of billions of dollars. That level of liability would likely bring the NFL to an abrupt end."

Sensationalist & Premature? You bet, but it makes you think ...

They are all jumping on the bad wagon.... However, how man of them can prove they are owed compensation?

Just having a concussion does not prove anyone is due compensation. Especially if they were treated by NFL paid doctors and have been fine sense.
