2) Or these guys sign a waiver to play full contact sports absolving the league of any responsibility should they get head injuries.
Everyone enters into pro football, auto racing, hockey, baseball... whatever sport it is, knowing there is a risk a significant injury or death. But the rate this is going, lawyers are going to dismantle professional contact sports as we know them, within the next couple decades. There is just too much money to be gained by suing these leagues with pretty much bottomless pockets. And the dudes with the bottomless pockets don't need the aggravation of being sued to the moon, for what are ultimately hobby businesses for them. They'll eventually just shut the whole kit and kaboodle down if these lawsuits continue at this rate.

All that compensation looks great on his grave. With no kids mid 30s. I understand your argument, and yet still think you are a selfish brat who dislikes your personal entertainment being affected even if it helps save people's lives.
