''explicitly relied on violence'' and neglected to educate players on the dangers of concussions.
I don't get this! They were all playing football by Jr. High, self awareness has to play a part somewhere in the defense...

They had to know that they could get hurt, but that didn't stop them from playing...

Well, I can't be expected to know that the coffee I just bought is hot and can be painful if spilled on my lap without someone explicitly telling me so, now can I?!

Like that person who sued McDonalds a few years back, bought a "hot" cup of coffee and burns their lips. And can sue, really?

I was mistaken, I didn't remember that she had "spilled" her coffee. So she sued, because she made a mistake.

That will be their next lawsuit filed, why don't they suit their parents for letting them play a sport that kept them off the streets or shoveling sheet somewhere that paid so much more money I'm sure. These are college educated men that knew and went for a lifestyle that most of us will never see, really makes me feel for these guys how about you. You can educate an idiot but he will always be just that, an educated idiot..
