NFL class-action lawsuit re: drug abuse

[Riccardo]

Unlike La ref's moronic misplaced outrage over Chip's robocar, this is a real problem for the NFL and does significantly impact player's longevity and long-term health.

Never heard of them

If they sat these guys down and explained the long term issues and potential side effects, how many of them would have said "no thanks, I 'll sit on the bench today" ?

Its a money grab and while I don't blame them for trying it - they really have nobody but themselves to blame. They can ask the team doctors, they can ask their own doctor, they have immense resources available to them.
They did nothing.

Even today, the players take all kinds of BS supplements with full knowledge that many of them are bogus and full knowledge that they are breaking the rules. They get informed by the league, by their agents and by their teams

And yet they still do it...

Rarely a week goes by that some player is popped for taking banned stuff- despite all the info available and the non-stop messaging from the league and teams

Grow a pair and take some responsibility for your own actions; claiming teams forced them to dose is a crock of shit. They willingly did it to further their careers and 99% of them would do it again

Maybe they win some cash out of this deal, bully for them. But the coddling and shifting of blame is a steaming pile.

They are adults, time to start acting like it

[Riccardo]

I agree on the personal responsibility standpoint

But if teams were giving players drugs illegally (i.e. without MD prescriptions) that's a real problem for the NFL. Could just be BS tho...

The resident idiot and pathetic ass weigh in.

This is about safety, it's not about extending their already too short careers.

Wait ... I mean ... it's capitalism ... the owners trying to make money off the players ... wait ... or are the players trying to maximize their earning potential?

Fuck ... I'm confused.

Ha ! I changed my location after your post from yesterday.
Was he attempting to impugn my sagging physique or my obviously superior intellect ?

Jeremy Newberry says they ( NFL teams) concealed injuries and blood work results from the players...if true, that's pretty bush league.

They should sue those bastards...

Speaking of the NFL- check out Chris Kluwe, former viking punter at a TED talk showing off how augmented reality will change the game of football for fans, coaches and players. Pretty amazing shit
