The heartbreaking stories of former NFL players and their families...

[Brad Sohn @BradSohn]

I truly love football, the friendships, the business side, and the tactical / athletic on-field battles. But it’s killing my dad right now; this pic could be him. All I can say when I see this is that guys deserve facts so they can make informed choices about playing. #cte #nfl

Rep. Burgess Owens (R-UT) calls out NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell for the league's now-defunct procedure of race-norming, which assumed Black players start at a lower cognitive function than non-Black players when evaluating brain injuries and determining compensation.

Finally! A judge that gets it! Kudos to Judge Karen Scholer for granting discovery and ruling appropriately in this #NFL disability case.

Democratic Rep. Bill Pascrell is calling for Clarence Thomas to resign.

"Clarence and Ginni Thomas have participated in one of the worst breaches of trust ever seen in our court system. Clarence Thomas cannot possibly be seen as a neutral actor but instead as a corrupt jurist."

It is truly sad to see these professional sports leagues continue to neglect the pioneers of the game.

[Women of the Retired & Disabled NFL @WomenoftheNFL]

Anyone who would fight against her own people to support an organization that has race normed thousands of retired black & brown players with brain damage...then support the NFL's effort to NOT hire head black coaches should not be the one that Amazon is looking to for support!

[Lacey Leonard,MBA @Lacey__Leonard]

@SheillaDingus @mikefreemanNFL You’re exactly right! The league certainly hasn’t wanted to acknowledge the truth but I’ll continue to shed light because these men aren’t machines and they sacrifice their lives to play America’s fav sport.

[Sheilla Dingus @SheillaDingus]

TRUTH by @mikefreemanNFL
"This story reminded me of when Dr. Omalu first diagnosed CTE & how he was basically shunned by the NFL. That's b/c acknowledging Omalu meant the league would have to accept the humanity of its players. But many in the league can't do that. Won't do that"

@SUSIIMHUNGRY @declankinvara I know!! We immediately called the vet and they told us that we had to wait to see if he had issues. No issues thankfully.
