 Former NFL player talks about miserable life after NFL

 By Jared Reed P.5

An anonymous former NFL player who is with more than three dozen other players claim that they have had a terrible life after the NFL. They claim that they have to spend thousands and thousands of dollars on medical treatment because of their multiple concussions that they received during their career in the NFL. If you had multiple concussions during your career, would you want the NFL to pay for the treatment that is for the brain damage. The anonymous player said that most of his money goes to his treatment. So he is just barely edging by without having no more money. Some of my sources for this article are ESPN.GO.com and nfl head lawsuits.com. I have interviewed four people and one of the people that I interviewed was Mrs.George (pe teacher). She said that the player should be able to have a little bit of a choice but the training staff should be able to overrule the players. Mrs.George also said that the players know how they feel. so if they feel some of the symptoms of a concussion such as dizziness, the players should stand up and take responsibility of their health and actions and sit out until they are cleared to play, and/or feel better. Another person that I interviewed was Nick Wiley. He said that the training staff should have more power over the players so that the training staff do not risk that the player gets hurt any more. Nick Wiley also said that they should also sit out if they do not feel good such as dizziness and/or concussion symptoms. Including this anonymous player, three dozen players joined in a lawsuit against the NFL which was filed in a Miami court. In all of the plaintiffs, one of them is a well known running back for the Miami Hurricane. His name is Najeh Davenport. It is heard That this lawsuit is one of dozens of others filed in different districts. some of the other NFL players speak out and say that now they suffer memory loss,depression, and migraine headaches. One of the worse parts of this lawsuit is that the players claim that the NFL has been ignoring their evidence that suggests that repeated head injuries could cause long term medical issues. On the other side of this argument, you have the lawyers. They say that the NFL is and has been half heartedly attempting to ensure the safety of the players on the field. It needs to change said the lawyers. As you can see, it is not just the players that think the NFL has to ensure the safety of players wholeheartedly, not half heartedly. Both sides with the players and lawyers agree that the NFL has to help pay the medical bills for their health and treatment. In the end the former and present players of the NFL want the NFL to ensure that players are okay. They want the NFL to give much more care to the players even if they have a slight concussion.
