With certain careers come certain risks and you know the risks going in.
Again no they didn’t know the risks
The question is what did the nhl know and did they keep that info from their players and take reasonable steps to prevent the harm
That’s what the law suit is about
If the people that employed those in your comparisons similarly withheld information related to the health or harm being done to them then yes they should be sued too
