Dan Marino has sued the NFL, claiming that playing professional football left him suffering from concussion-related injuries, Nathan Fenno reports for the Los Angeles Times.
The lawsuit was filed in U.S. District Court in Philadelphia last week, according to the Times. Fourteen other players joined Marino in the suit.

Did the football do it or was it the helmets?
I agree. I was very opposed to these lawsuits at one point, but Goodell has so ruined the NFL that I hope they have to pay up big time. Goodell seems more concerned about pleasing leftist agitators about homosexuality, Redskins namesake, etc., than putting a good show on the field.
I suppose that the PC crowd will back him on this one.
I never thought much about his football talents in addition to his not being very bright. He seems like a ‘duh’ kind of guy to me.
Well, the NHL season should be over before ice out.
No, that’s why he had an affair.
People smell a payday. This may bleed the NFL’s coffers.
I don't know if any of these lawsuits have any merit, but no employer has the right to willfully put their employees in harm's way by hiding risks associated with the work.
He never had a concussion. His most serious injury was an Achilles tear that was more from playing golf than football.
“Dan Marino should die of Gonerreah and rot in Hell”
getting aids from homosexual’s tainted blood will put the final nail in the coffin.
He freely engaged in the activity of playing football fully knowing that he would get knocked about. It was not forced on him by the NFL. He chose to get roughed up.
That’s interesting. As a pure passer, I thought he was the best QB I had ever seen in the NFL.
Bruce smith nailed him several times
What is this, “NFL,” of which you all speak?
Excellent point.
“That’s interesting. As a pure passer, I thought he was the best QB I had ever seen in the NFL.”
Ah, that’s because you never saw John Unitas play football, live, in-person nor knew the kind of upstanding man he was except maybe in a couple of video clips. ;-)
One break coming up its football stupid , might as well sue the college and high schools too? Never won a Super Bowl dan.
Hey Marino, you got paid handsomely for what you did and you knew what you were getting into when you strapped on that uniform.
If you hadn’t played football, what would you have done?
There are thousands who strapped on a uniform and got very little in return but perhaps a flag draped coffin and never had a chance to bitch about it like you have.
