[QUOTE="Leonormous Boozer, post: 972107, member: 45598"] I can't say for certain but I imagine something similar is in place in the US. I'm not too clued in on the NFL's troubles ([USER=53057]@big ginger 8[/USER] or [USER=73648]@themole25[/USER] might be the men to ask there) but I imagine it comes down to failing their duty of care in terms of rehab from concussion. If an employer was to follow every step reasonably possible at the time of the injuries, which is essentially anything available to the public for the incredibly rich NFL, and CTE could still not be stopped they'd be fine in Ireland or the UK anyway and it seems unfair for this not to be the way but the US does seem to offer the individual a bit more protection in court. (Although its counteracted and then some through court being far less accessible to your average citizen) I imagine what happened is they either ignored it to get players on the pitch and/or the standard set for medical teams was deemed insufficient by the law. Edit:The mole got there. [/QUOTE]
