It is like fighting or deflecting concussion issues. When a player sues the league the defense is always going to be did the concussion issues happen only in the NHL or do they go back to Major U17 or junior hockey. That is why you will see payments without admitting guilt. The only reason why the NFL was screwed because the NFL admitted in an email to Mike Webster's family that they knew about the issues caused by their sport.
