[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 517088"] As I noted previously before the recent settlement came down, there is a clear parallel here with the tobacco industry. That cigarettes cause cancer or that football causes debilitating concussions was never in question. However, as the tobacco companies concealed their own studies showing the severity of the risks while denying their existence, the NFL concealed the severity of the concussion risks in their own studies, or so the plaintiffs have alleged. The tobacco companies settled with the states for approximately $200 billion (with a "b") in payments over a 25 year period. These settlements had less to do with cancer than the lying about it. The NFL already settled one suit for $765 million. It was all about the lying. There are more suits to come. If I were a concerned parent, I'd look to the studies that are the most conservative claiming the highest levels of risk. Or encourage engagement in other sports. [/QUOTE]
