No low IQs necessary. All they need is a copy of the report the NFL distributed to players in the early 90s saying there was no indication of long term harm from concussions. The league told them the game was safe, and the league will lose these suits because of it.

Well, if the NFL really was dumb enough to do that, then maybe they deserve to lose just for being stupid. I still think that the ultimate responsibility lies with the players, who were grown men who made the choice to play a rough sport and take the risks, but my viewpoint regarding personal responsibility seems to be embraced by a shrinking minority of people in this country. The rest expect to be coddled from cradle to grave. You could have handed me 20 reports saying that football was harmless, and I still would have understood that there were serious risks. But then we're back to that IQ thing.
