Ticket prices are going to increase dramatically. It seems everybody is somehow a “victim” these days. What’s next, lawsuits and compensation for every torn ligament and sprained ankle? Where does it end?

Bankrupt the tax exempt NFL. The league is dead to me.

reparations for victim’s Ticket holders are paying for this, but non fan’s will be paying for it as well thru advertising dollars spent supporting these poor souls games.

Do the math:

675 mil, divided by 20,000 players = avg payout of $33,750 per player.

I’m sure that the payout will be weighted. More serious cases will get a higher payout. But it still doesn’t seem like a lot of money.

Meanwhile the game I love is turning into a non-contact passing drill complete with pink uniform accessories.

Irrespective of where one sits on this issue, to me one of the big story lines is that although the NFL is out $765,000,000, when you consider the number of players involved, the money that's supposed to go to research etc., and the fact that the attorney fees and cut from this must be huge, it's doubtful that each individual player will get much over $100,000. This is the problem with all class action-type litigation.

Our legal system is really not about justice. It's an industry.

I don't quite get this. Shouldn't the scope of this concern go all the way back to pee wee and Pop Warner football??

Anybody who plays football is vulnerable to head and neck injuries. The NFL just has the deep pockets.

I was a pro football running back in my former life and have a vague recall of intense and recurring headaches. Where do I go to collect my share?

[longhorn too]

I got hit real hard in a junior high game in the early 60’s, will I be eligible for any compensation?
