But the NFL is accused of hiding the dangers of the game from the players. They withheld their own studies which showed links of repeated concussions to a variety of mental health illnesses:
The NFL Committee did everything within its power to deny any causal link between multiple concussions and later-life cognitive decline. DeMaurice Smith, Executive Director of the NFLPA, described this NFL Committee policy: “[u]nfortunately, the NFL...diminished [independent] studies, [and] urged the suppression of [independent] findings...for years.
This is more like NASCAR hiding evidence from its drivers that repeated neck strain from cornering quickly has severe life altering impacts as you age.
