Federal Judge Rules In Favor of NFL Players Concussion Case

What is big, ugly, and gives Roger Goodell nightmares? The United States Justice System. Last Thursday a federal judge approved a settlement between the NFL and those who have played in the league for funds to screen for concussions that those players may have endured over the course of their careers. The final settlement number was $765 million in favor of the players. 

Two New Rules Passed That Could Have an Impact on the NFL

The NFL has already made two new rule changes for the upcoming year at the NFL Annual Meeting. While four proposals have yet to be voted on, two others did not take long to get passed. Of course with every decision there are two reactions. Some fans believe that these changes are taking away from the game and will eventually lead to the game basically being “flag football.” Others believe that this is great for the sport because player safety is a huge thing and it should be the number one priority.
