75 Football Players Go After the NFL
. According to the lawsuit, filed today in L.A. County Superior Court and obtained by TMZ, the players and their wives claim, "The NFL knew as early as the 1920's of the harmful effects on a player's brain of concussions; however, until June of 2010 they concealed these facts from coaches, trainers, players and the public." Among the 75 players -- Mark Duper, a former wide receiver for the Dolphins, as well as Otis Anderson and Rodney Hampton, both former running backs for the Giants. The suit claims the NFL commissioned a study in 1994, titled "NFL Committee on MIld Traumatic Brain Injury" and published a report in 2004, concluding there was "no evidence of worsening injury or chronic cumulative effects" from multiple concussions. And, the suit alleges, it was not until June, 2010, that the NFL acknowledged concussions can lead to dementia, memory loss, CTE and related symptoms. In addition to suing the NFL for fraud, negligence and failure to warn, Riddell -- the manufacturer of NFL helmets -- is also a defendant. The suit seeks unspecified damages. more on this story
