The National Football League was sued by the widow of former San Diego Chargers defensive back Paul Oliver, claiming his suicide last year was the result of head trauma and concussions he sustained.
The NFL ignored, minimized and disputed the long-term health risks players were exposed to because of repeated head collisions, Chelsea Oliver said in a complaint filed yesterday in Los Angeles Superior Court. She seeks unspecified damages for herself and her sons.
