The players now have the info, on concussions, on steroids, on painkillers, on deflating footballs, etc. Live with the informed decisions you, the player, make. Stop suing because you made the wrong choice. Not the same thing as a dr, and the general public.
There was an interview with the player's union rep, forget his name. Anyway, he said all the progress they have made with player safety and such, has come from litigation. That's because the league forces it to go that far. We all know that's how corporations operate. They will pay/make the changes, but you must make the courts order them to. I wish it wasn't so, but it is the world. That part I agree on. However, when a grown man, with a college level education, says somebody else is responsible for his choices, that is as much of the problem as well.
