“In support of our shared commitment to player health and safety, the NFL and NFL Players Association jointly retained a third-party company to design and administer to all NFL players a survey asking their opinions and experiences on a wide range of health and safety-related topics,” the league and union said in a joint statement. “Each response will be maintained in the strictest confidence, and the overall results will remain confidential. The parties will use the results to identify areas that are working well and those in need of improvement. Where appropriate selected data may be shared with the teams’ medical staffs. This exercise is required by the parties’ 2011 Collective Bargaining Agreement.”

If the NFL has been hiding ANY metrics at all that relate to player safety then the NFL is negligent for the lack of long term health care benefits for former players. And that is just the tip of the iceberg.

 

I think the NFL is treading dangerously close to needing Government Intervention. That was hard to say.

 

I will still watch.

Is it really up to the NFL to take care of individual players, or is it up to the team? I'm not familiar with how that works.

Yes and No.
