Retired Players

Bill Parcells gave $4 million to his former players who were in need - NBC Sports nbcsports.com/nfl/profootbal…

The Titans, who just picked their QB of the future, made one of best deals in sports business history this week. They will receive $1.26 BILLION of public financing for a new stadium. It's the best stadium deal...ever. NFL owner business plan: socialize cost, privatize profit.

#DoTheMath With what #NFL Benefits has paid to Groom Law Group to fight players in court and doctors to find them not disabled over the past 11 years, they could have paid 41 players the highest tier of disability benefits for 11 years. #shameful

“He’s the poster child for what the N.F.L. does not want us thinking about, which is that the game is very, very dangerous.” And that's why we need to think about it and demand better. Nice work by @el_belson & @JennyVrentas nytimes.com/2023/01/29/spo…

Closeup on Russell Wilson's face after his #concussion is unsettling. Watch his face distort from the impact, then imagine his brain changing shape in the same way, stretching & likely tearing the more vulnerable long axons. Let's hope for a good recovery.

Fault Lines investigates the NFL’s failure to compensate players who suffered head trauma playing America’s most popular sport. A decade ago after it was sued for concealing the risks of playing football, has the NFL made good on its promises? Watch now: aje.io/Bloodsport

CTE denier Grant Iverson's still doing the NFL's bidding, leading a sports concussion group to consider only 26 of 7500 papers submitted on sports brain injury-only those that didn't associate CTE with sports. 🔥from @el_belson nytimes.com/2022/11/08/spo…

Good to see @ChrisNowinski1 get his due. Advocates for any cause can learn from his success. Choose the right topic, one in the public interest. Get educated. Get facts straight. Communicate clearly and often. Stick with it. For as long as needed. nytimes.com/2022/10/26/spo…

Almost a year ago. Proud of you my brother, @LaneJohnson65. Mental health is hard work but you DESERVE to put that work in! Lane, you are an example to so many! Let’s all go walk this walk together. #WorldMentalHealthDay

⁦@ChrisNowinski1⁩ Re Tua concession read first three paragraphs of this article. I was hospitalized for concussion, played the following two weeks and got knocked each game. No one thought anything of it. #makegamesafer

Great message from Rodney Harrison! It’s not worth it.

Shockingly ignored w/ #TuaTagovailoa is hospital release to fly w/ team. So 3 hrs after grotesque fencing response, motionless 10+ mins and gurneyed away purposefully immobilized, let's have him walk around jiggling his brain on busses/airplanes/cars. @ChrisNowinski1 @el_belson

It’s not about the money, it’s about the principle. I’m probably more emotional about it than most, bc of what I went through with all of these injuries (I’m sure others feel the same). To say you don’t know if it happened playing football…😡

A lot going on in #NFL right now - but in last Friday's news dump this flew under the radar. Every time I see articles about this, I'm close to speechless. Absolutely despicable & hateful recent history. @carronJphillips reminds us "It's all connected" deadspin.com/the-nfl-s-old-…

This @bu_cte image shows Ken Stabler's brain compared to a normal brain, yet his family was denied compensation on a technicality.

Hundreds of Black NFL retirees denied payouts in the $1 billion concussion settlement now qualify for awards after their tests were rescored to eliminate racial bias. apne.ws/qLHx1qa

NO MORE PLAYING GAMES: Breakthrough analysis reveals repetitive head impacts are a DEFINITIVE CAUSE of #CTE. Sports industry must acknowledge cause-and-effect & get to work protecting their athletes, especially children. Release, study & a thread: concussionfoundation.org/news/press-rel…

Former WWE star and co-founder of @ConcussionLF @ChrisNowinski1 hopes more active NFL players raise awareness about CTE. Listen to the full interview on the AP Pro Football Podcast with @RobMaaddi. Download/subscribe: bit.ly/appod722

"Fewer than 5% of 225 brains from deceased service members showed evidence of CTE... 'we found that all ten had played contact sports'" "One shouldn't go away thinking that because we didn't find CTE, the brains are normal... That's clearly not the case." npr.org/sections/healt…
