In response to "Fed judge in Philly rejects 765 million dollar NFL concussion settlement because she doesn't think it's enough money. -- (link)" by Diva

I wonder if they'll start taking into considerations the players that played even though they were warned not to.

A couple players just recently ignored concussion protocol and played anyway. Should these chucklenuts (and others like them) benefit financially for ignoring the advice of physicians?

  - If they're the ones abetting the circumvetion of protocols that the league has put in place to protect the players, then yeah it's on them. -- nm - znufrii Jan 14, 10:19

        No, the issue is payments and the pool of money available . "She says she is mostly concerned that not all retired players who are someday diagnosed - mara Jan 14, 10:29 2
        
        no, I was after znu not her ruling :) If players can't make a decision on whether to play or not who can really tell if they are injured? -- nm - Beaker Jan 14, 10:31 1
        
        if not themselves. -- nm - Beaker Jan 14, 10:31
