Sorry - that ain't gonna happen. Big tobacco engaged in massively deceptive practices. Executives testified to congress under oath that nicotine was not addictive and smoking didn't cause cancer when the KNEW the exact opposite was true. I don't see any of that in the NFL. They may have lived in denial for a while but they are taking very real steps to deal with concussion now. They may not have done the due diligence that they should have on the impact of head injury but once the proof was there, they reacted in a positive manner.
The NFL isn't even the most violent sport we've got. The fastest growing sport in the country is MMA - a collection of sport leagues where people hit, kick and strangle each other into submission on PPV. We've known for decades what head trauma does to professional boxers - no regulation or lawsuits have ever stuck.
The NFL will be just fine.
