Most football players wont even realize when they have concussions. When a football player experiences a concussion they experience a temporary, trauma- induced an alteration in mental status (Tyler and Nelson 1). Also the player will hear a “bell-ringing” noise, which can cause lasting physical and mental injury, or even result in death (1). According to Tyler and Nelson, “Studies released by the American Academy of Neurology and the National Brain Injury Association indicate that 10% of college and 20% of high school football players receive brain injuries in any given season” (1). Many f these concussions are temporary, but if a player receives their first concussion are four times more likely to receive a second than someone who has never had one (1).
Data published by NHS show that there is high number of measles reported due to 1-16 years old children who missed the vaccinations between 1990s and 2000s. In 2012 the numbers of cases was 2,000. The fears are now concerned on the MMR vaccination, as now there is also a big group of children who did not received their vaccination. NHS urge parents to ensure their children receive the vaccination. This shows that many parents are sceptical to the vaccinations, what might have negative consequences for children.
Owners want the players to only be able to sign for 3 years if they are signing with new teams. The current system allows the players to sign for 5 years. The reason for this is certainly understandable. If a player signs for 5 years and blows his knee out and misses 2 years out of the 5, the owners are still stuck paying that salary to the player and are getting nothing in return. These kind of things happen and can cripple a team for years leaving the owners unable to sign new players because they have millions tied up in an injured player.

Treating War’s Toll on the Mind Response Paper – By Aisha Pitt 03/12/2010 In reading this article written by Betsy Streisand it is apparent that thousands of soldiers suffer from Post Traumatic Stress disorder during and after combat. When they suffer from being traumatized during the war, and when they are still in combat, little help is made available to the soldiers and they are soon pushed back into the war before they have the chance to fully heal. When a soldier returns home with PTSD they have the inability to turn the switch from soldier to a regular citizen. They can return with depression and anxiety because they can feel like there is a complete lack of safety for them and their family. Soldiers have a hard time integrating
The NFL fans don’t think so. If the leader of the NFL and the fans of the NFL don’t believe this is good for the sport then why did it go on for nearly ten years? Many players have come forth stating they knew of the bounty but it was only for legal hits on other players. No payouts were ever made for illegal hits or harm to other players from questionable actions. Although the players may be supporting the coach’s actions, most are calling for their heads…and possibly for good reason.
The National Football League is in contract negotiations with its players and is getting ready to do a player "lockout." If that happens, players won't be able to play, fans won't have a football season and local economies that rely on football will be devastated. The NFL and team owners don't appear to care what a lockout costs communities and fans -- they only care about their own profits. The NFL's set to make billions of dollars, even without a football season. But if they do that, players and fans lose.
The NFLPA has come up against several legal issues over the years, including contractual issues, antitrust laws, and most notable inherent risk issues. Most of the time the NFLPA can go up against the contractual issues brought forth and help a player come to an agreed end. The NFLPA would have to be dissolved for a player to go up on the antitrust laws, though, due to a collective bargaining clause, which is present when a union is involved (Feldman, 2011). Last, inherent risk issues are being brought forth due to concussions the players have had during play, and at this point although many lawsuits are pending. The NFLPA has not yet been dragged into the litigation, but still may because of wanting affiliations with the Committee of Mild Traumatic Brain Injury (MTBIC) the NFL formed (Storm Law Firm, LLC,
