Junior Seau's family sues NFL over brain injuries

[Jazzy]

The family of Junior Seau has sued the NFL, claiming the former linebacker's suicide was the result of brain disease caused by violent hits he sustained while playing football.



The wrongful death lawsuit, filed Wednesday in California Superior Court in San Diego, blames the NFL for its acts or omissions that hid the dangers of repetitive blows to the head. It says Seau developed chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) from those hits, and accuses the NFL of deliberately ignoring and concealing evidence of the risks associated with traumatic brain injuries.

Excuse me but no one forced him to play football or kill himself. He knew there were risks involved. Football is a contact, impact and collision sport. Sorry, the NFL, has nothing to do with his death.



What are your thoughts on this lawsuit?

There was no warning on the back of his jersey that said:



Warning, the Surgeon General has determined that repeated, full speed collisions between players in the effort to entertain the Television audience can cause possibly fatal cases of the fantods in players.



So the NFL is clearly liable.
