https://www.forbes.com/sites/rogerg...s/#71b21ba14ad1quote:The Fourth Circuit ruled that the NFL’s disability plan administrators arbitrarily ignored compelling evidence of a retired player’s CTE, a disease associated with helmet head trauma. The player is Jesse Solomon. He played nine seasons before retiring in 1995. The evidence, including depositions, medical reports and testimony of several physician experts established that Solomon had over 69,000 full-speed contact hits, white matter in the brain common to CTE, and serious neurological impairments traceable to Solomon’s football career. The Court emphasized that the NFL’s own board retained a neutral neurologist, who opined in February 2011 that Solomon brain injury was NFL football-related and worsened “over a period of 5-10 years”.

TheChirurgeon posted:Yeah the NFLPA may be the weakest player Union. Add to that is the players hold little leverage and American public opinion has been against the idea of paying athletes for a century now and you've got a recipe for players getting even less in 2020. I think having so many more players per team than other sports, and the average career being so short, lends itself to not having a strong union.

Fire Safety Doug posted:Long but illuminating read about why history isn’t on the players’ side here. From the comments: quote:The USFL collapse was instrumental in getting remotely talented players to break the strike so the on-field product didn’t turn completely to poo poo. Hypothesis: the XFL2 is a red herring to ensure the same thing happens around the time of end of the current CBA (expires in 2020). hmmm

Play posted:Ah I see I misunderstood. Yeah imo there's no wrong way to use it; if it helps you in any way even if it's just mental then that's a good thing. The California law which really got the medical thing going was written exactly like that, anyone could get a card and it's basically their decision if it helps them or not. Hopefully someday marijuana is just completely removed from the schedule and hiring/firing decisions based on one's medical/recreational choices are made illegal under equal opportunity laws. I'd take that Arizona action.

Gumbel2Gumbel posted:It snapped at several other dogs before this happened and was off leash in addition to your post being the right take. You're right that if he had a past history of being aggressive towards other dogs, he shouldn't have been there. But being off leash is the point of a dog park. In fact, bringing a dog into a dog park on leash is a good way to start a dog fight.

Kalli posted:Yeah, on paper going into last year you'd be pretty happy with Cooper + Crabtree, Jared Cook is fine at TE, and then Marshawn Lynch + rotational guys at RB with that Offensive line, but it all just sucked instead. Also he dinged the Rams for lack of depth but seemingly ignored the Cowboys glaring depth issue.
