NFL Sued For Allegedly Withholding Concussion Information, According To Report

The NFL is being sued by 75 former players, according to TMZ.com, for concealing information regarding the long-term damage effects concussions have on athletes. The players also named helmet manufacturer Riddell in the lawsuit.

The players (and their wives, apparently), claim that 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.”
