The National Football League glorifies the brutality of the sport for profit, according to a complaint filed by thousands of ex-players and their families seeking damages for head injuries suffered on the field.
The NFL is accused of negligence and failing to inform players of the link between repeated traumatic head impacts and long-term brain injuries, including early onset Alzheimer’s, dementia and chronic traumatic encephalopathy, according to a so-called master complaint filed today. The league denied the claims and said it’s reviewing the filing.
