Since the NFL is fully political now this is relevant news. The issue of insurance for head traumas (same for hockey and soccer) sports as less firms are willing to insure the league. As a football fan I hope this gets “fixed” but it’s a very real issue.

Politics have a lot to do with insurance!
The Health Insurance Lobby is still buying politicians as we speak!
Insurance companies will provide coverage if they can collect the premiums to cover the risk.
This is a workers compensation issue.
The owners are the employers. They have a legal obligation to provide workers compensation coverage to their employees.
Used to love the NFL.
I hope it folds. It is a shell of its former self. It has let anti American traitorous leftist infiltrate it’s ranks
It will be less popular than boxing in 15 years

NFL and high school sports are two different issues.
If you are injured during high school good luck suing the school under their general liability policy. The school has a good defense called “assumption of risk”.
In the NFL there is an employee/employer relationship. It’s a good possibility their multimillion dollar contracts address health and injury issues in lieu of workers compensation coverage.
They are employees of an owner.
For example Brady is not an employee of the NFL. He is an employee of the Patriots organization.
Brady is not a coworker of Golden Tate. Tate is an employee of the Philadelphia organization.
It is a workers compensation issue.
Now the injured players may sue the league which is a separate entity from their employer (their team).
