Here's a scenario:

You have a job handling dangerous chemicals. You are paid a premium because you work with dangerous chemicals. You are very experienced working with dangerous chemicals.

During the course of your job, you come into contact with some of these dangerous chemicals, and your bosses see this happen. They ask you if you're ok and to the best of your knowledge you are. You go back to work and are again exposed to dangerous chemicals, except this time, it's much worse, because although you thought you were fine, it turns out that being exposed to these chemicals gets exponentially worse with each exposure. You are again seen by your employers to having been exposed to these chemicals, but this time, you aren't aware that you've been exposed. Your employer then continues to let you work in an environment that has serious implications on your health without letting you know.

You eventually die because of this exposure, at the age of 35 and in the autopsy it is revealed that you did indeed die as a result of this exposure.

If your family then sues your employer, is that 'going too far'?

The slippery slope for this lawsuit will be that if Montador's family wins, any other team that is also in violation of the league's mandated concussion protocol will also see vindication as their lawsuits are won.

That's a slope worth sliding down.
