There is no doubt that the concussion problem has the potential to greatly change the NFL. The lawsuits brought by former players have the potential to cause financial ruin.
One of the points made by players is that they were unaware of the dangers of concussions. I find that hard to believe. It seems like all of a sudden there has been a moment of enlightenment where everyone realizes that they are dangerous and can have long term effects.
I think everyone knew the dangers of them. However, players, coaches, doctors and owners chose to ignore that fact. Was it a cover-up? I'm not sure that is the correct term. I feel like it was more like willful ignorance on the part of all..
All of a sudden, everyone thinks concussions are bad. They have known this forever. It's nothing new.
