“The NFL has reached a $765 million settlement with more than 4,500 former players who brought suit against the league for brain injuries suffered on the field, according to court documents released on Thursday. As part of the settlement, the NFL will not be considered liable for these injuries, and it also avoids an admission that the injuries were caused by football. Retired players suing the league over the issue argued that the NFL knowingly concealed the long-term effects of concussions and head trauma caused by playing the game.”
