The Wiz Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 (edited) Funny how he did this after he was no longer affiliated with the NFL/CBS. I'm impartial to the whole concussion discussion (fun to say). Get paid millions for a while with the possibility of prolonged illness/symptoms or put that communications degree to good use. Not saying I don't feel for the people, but they know what they are getting into. Edited June 2, 2014 by The Wiz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pondslider Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 To be fair he probably needs the money to pay off another another intern or assistant he knocked up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not saying I don't feel for the people, but they know what they are getting into. So true. It just isn't right. To make the money on the front end and then after for suing how you made your money. You can't double dip! To be fair he probably needs the money to pay off another another intern or assistant he knocked up. Funny! But, probably true!

Armchair GM Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 @EyeOnNFL Dan Marino's lawsuit alleges that the NFL has known about 'the high incidence of concussions since the early 1970s.' http://cbsprt.co/1pBapk4 Really? That's unheard of...22 superior athletes on the field @ one time, smashing the sh*t out of each other, wearing fairly light pads. I can't believe they could possibly end up with any type of head injury. These lawsuits are rediculous. If you're not smart enough to realize the inherant risk of injury that comes with a violent contact sport...I mean, c'mon mannn, it's not like they have to sucker these guys into playing the game.

Mr. WEO Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 (edited) Unless Marino can show damages, not sure how he can bring a successful suit. I guess he will never make money off the NFL any other way at this point.... Edited June 3, 2014 by Mr. WEO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just in Atlanta Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 No alleged damage? WTF? Smacks of a greed play. Marino and his ilk will slowly kill this game. Litigation always wins in the end. There will be a time when threats of never-ending lawsuits will force the NFL to make radical changes to the violence of the game we love. When that happens, it's virtual flag football. I think the analogy I've seen is apropos: A solider suing the federal government for getting shot. What makes it worse is that Marino is a millionaire and the soldier/marine makes $20K a year if that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Over 29 years of fanhood Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 Did everyone previously believe concussions were good for long term health before? I mean come on. Take responsibility for yourselves. Of course if you play arguably the most violent team sport in the country for 1 or 2 decades, your body will suffer long term damage. I guess this was some kind of NFL secret in the 70s and 80s? I wonder if they knew of all the knee, shoulder and hip stress the game imposes and how it may lead to arthritis later in life? I bet they are just covering it up so no one knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
