I just cant help but feel that the NFL just runs on sleazy business practices. This is probably the richest sports league in the world and some of their historical outreach to "share the wealth" more equitably with the players playing a brutally physical game (and hence short lived careers) is head shaking.
The worst example is how they tried to bamboozle the retired/injured players mostly suffering from dementia and head related injuries from a decent settlement. That a judge had to vacate an agreed to judgement is telling in the case where the lawyers for the players were going to make off like bandits in their fees for agreeing to some very questionable clauses in the settlement.
If there is a sport which should treat their injured players with much more workplace decorum it is the NFL.
