[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 517470"] Really? Just google "NFL concussion settlement", "NFL concussion lawsuits", or any other likely combination and there's tons of info on it. The gist...the NFL understated concussion risks relative to the studies they had in hand. There are supporting tales of researchers being cajoled and threatened because the NFL did not like where they were heading. If that's not enough, ESPN underwrote this recent PBS "Frontline" documentary on football concussion, but when the NFL saw it they made ESPN take their name off of it. I guess it's unseemly for an NFL broadcaster to question the game. It airs next week in my area. I look forward to seeing it. Along the same lines, with far less press coverage, you might want to google "Riddell concussion lawsuit" or "helmet lawsuit". Riddell claimed that a certain new and improved helmet reduced concussions by something on the order of 35%. Independent research indicates that claim is false. This is particularly problematic since it extends into the amateur game. [/QUOTE]
