Duerson Family Lawsuit Could Alter NFL
League may need culture change more than rules changes

In the law offices of Corboy & Demetrio on Dearborn Street just north of
Madison, a news conference was held to announce that the family of former
Bear Dave Duerson is suing the NFL.
.
The lawsuit states the league knew concussions could cause the kind of
brain damage that apparently led to Duerson taking his own life, but
concealed the information.
.
The league will argue there is new science on concussions and head
injuries.
.
No matter how this suit is settled, it is part of something bigger that is
happening to the NFL.
.
The same violent collisions that made the NFL grow into a $9.5 billion
business could one day force the league to shrivel. It seems the bigger
and stronger players get, the smaller and more vulnerable the league might
become.
.
Not counting Duerson's family, there are currently 657 retired players
suing the league for concussion-related issues, according to a league
source. A federal judge in Philadelphia had consolidated the 657
complaints into 18 lawsuits.
.
Never before has the league been sued over brain issues like this.
.
And of the 657 cases, you can bet none are anywhere near as strong as
Duerson's. The difference in Duerson's case is that his was the only brain
that was studied and found to have advanced brain damage called chronic
traumatic encephalopathy.
.
I have spoken with many league executives who are very concerned about how
the concussion issue will affect the game long term.
