One clinician lamented their possible complicity in a system that perpetuated “racial inequity” in payouts: “I’m realizing and feeling regretful for my culpability in this inadvertent systemic racism issue,” the clinician wrote. “As a group we could have been better advocates.”

Some of them fear that the league’s recommended protocols discriminate against Black players. In emails obtained by @ABC, clinicians say they supersede their professional judgement, sometimes leading to a “drastically different outcome” for former players seeking help.

EXCLUSIVE: The NFL insists that its concussion settlement program does not require the clinicians who evaluate former players for payouts to make race a factor in their determinations. Several of those clinicians, however, appear to disagree. abcnews.go.com/Sports/clinici…
