So why don’t they file suit against the NFLPA also for not protecting his life?

… I’m sure the “Seau Estate” has been bombarded by lawyers looking to represent them in a suit. Just another example of lawyers and liberals pile driving this country into the ground.

The minute Seau made his first million they all registered to vote as Republicans. That’s where the real greed lies.

The millions he made while playing in the NFL have run out?

I doubt it. Greed knows no limts.

All players today are aware of the risk of brain injury and injuries to other parts of their bodies while playing football.

But I don’t see anyone walking away and giving the money back.

It was all about money to start with – hence the reason they donated his brain for research – because visions of $$ danced in their heads.

There are plenty of people who suffer concussions and have CTE, but they aren’t putting a gun in their mouth and blowing their head off.

There are other factors at play here – not just what they did for a living.

When this first happened, I wondered if his death was really a suicide. I had never heard of anyone shooting themselves in the chest to commit suicide. Seemed odd to me at the time and I still think it sounds odd. Maybe I am wrong, and I could very well be. Just a suspicion I’ve had.

Well Sherlock, he shot himself in the chest so his brain could be studied, like in similar former cases. As far as the family suing, that is disgusting to me. Lots of players did not get brain injuries because they did not play 17+ seasons or whatever he played. Suing the NFL is ridiculous. Should a police or fireman or soldiers family sue the government when one of them dies from injuries received on the job in NORMAL working conditions. They may not have understood the science of brain injuries as much when he started playing, but you can tell by the growth and evolution of the pads and helmets the players wear that someone is obviously trying to help solve the problem. The players want to play and pick up quarter million dollar paychecks every week, not protect their heads and make minimum salary.

His brain damage could have begun back from hits he took in Jr. High School — who knows!?

Truth is, that rule would do far more harm than good because it would effectively close the courthouse doors to poor and middle-income people. Plus, imagine its impact in the criminal sphere; want your taxes to pay O.J.’s multimillion-dollar legal bill?

All these lawsuits are about only one thing: getting into the deep pockets of the NFL.

I hope the Seau Estate gets 100′s of millions. All their lawyers have to prove is the NFL was negligent by knowing information re: the health risks but did nothing. Case closed…the end.

The only way the NFL can protect themselves from getting sued is by now telling the players on the field that there will strict punishment for targeting the head..

Like it or not, it’s these types of situations with Junior Seau that are causing the NFL to force these type of plays to be deemed illegal.

This is nothing more than a big money grab.

This is the first of what will eventually end contact football as a sport, at least as we know it.

I had to sign a waiver at an amusement park to go on a kick butt sling-shot ride.

The NFL will make EVERY PLAYER on the team sign a waiver that indicates you play AT YOUR OWN RISK, very soon. Mark it.

There is never any responsibility being taken for not being able to adjust in retirement.

- Money isn’t coming in anymore
- No more day to day structure of the NFL.
- Might have to work a job that they are not naturally good at.
- Aches and pains of body taking a pounding for years
- Now have to spend time with a family that they don’t really know

The above and more are can cause depression and substance abuse.

The real criminals are the lawyers exploiting these families emotions for the purpose of lining their own pockets.
