Can someone please reference the statement where the NFL told players.

" you have no chance of concussions playing in the NFL"

Obviously that would have been followed by "maybe you did in College, High School, Jr. High.... but not here in the NFL... We are concussion free!"


Goodell's posturing is not completely because of liability. An equal % of the reason is NFL football is popularity driven. He does not want to "look like".


And at the end of the day helmet to turff causes nearly as many concussions as helmet to helmet.
Rodgers has concussion, won


If a person does not have enough sense to know that being told " a tire will NEVER lose traction" is absolute bull they do not belong on a bike.

As far as the NFL "KNOWING" of the long term effects of concussions and suppressing that the following is all i can find.

Certain parties have "reason to believe" that the NFL "may" have had information, that linked concussions to "possible" long term effects



Come on! This is about as rock solid as Goodell "may" have supporting evidence that would cause him to "believe" that Vilma "could" have paid to have players injured.

You cant hold the parties to different standards because it suits you. In one hand some people say the NFL is guilty because they "may" have known and "possibly suppressed"... then those same people turn around and say if Goodell doesn't show concrete evidence for pay for injure then he is lying.

We can agree to disagree. Time will certainly tell.

Yep! Because in the end... facts do not matter. Who has the better lawyer does.

You either don't comprehend what you are reading, or you don't want to.
No one ever said there is no chance of getting concussions playing in the NFL.

Au contrair mon frair ~ It was implied that a concussion was nothing to worry about.

" The NFL was telling these players, if not directly then through the actions of coaches, physicians paid for by teams and by the league, and its culture, that, you know, it's a concussion. You'll be fine. Now GET BACK OUT THERE AND PLAY! "


Furthermore there has to be an assumption of at least average intellectual capacity. E.G. If it takes more than a few advil and you have to go to the hospital.... its serious.


The grounded truth.... They all knew, they all knew quite well that they were risking their health and safety each and every time they stepped foot on the field.

They also knew they were not going to make that kind of money ANYWHERE off the field. Greed and want drove them to suit up every Sunday.

Just like with the tires.... If I am concussed and a coach tells me "just get back on the field, you'll be alright"... Im telling him where he can stick it.

Ive had it happen to me on the football field before, in High School, 16 years old. I staggered my self off the field and refused to go back in.
