These guys willingly strapped the helmets on. They personally made millions of dollars, became famous, and were idolized. A lot of the guys who made millions actually used the game, not the other way around. For many, football offered them a "way out" from lives of crime and struggling.

You mean to tell me that getting hit violently in the head causes brain damage? No s***. These guys knew that the game is a violent one, but they wanted to reap the rewards. It's like smokers... who sued the tobacco companies. Or as Larry the Cable Guy says: "I currently have a lawsuit filed against Hustler because they caused me to get Carpal Tunnel."
No. The league knew concussions were dangerous and not only did nothing about it but continued to send players onto the field when they should not have been allowed onto the field.

This is the smoking gun that Roger cannot avoid no matter how many people he fines and suspends and no number of new 'safety' rules will make this go away. The NFL is up a creek, and Roger knows it. What we are seeing are the acts of a man desperate to influence a jury ahead of it's selection.
