We have come a long way in one year. A year ago when we started. It is remarkable. The cause is tremendous. There are so many people out there with disabilities that have gotten crippled from football. The cost of surgeries and stays in the hospital are too much. If there were improved pensions and disability benefits you would need an emergency fund from time to time. You would not have as many people that need help if the pensions were different. Even some type of insurance program will help.

What has happened this weekend is fabulous.

The hurdles faced by retired NFL players to obtain disability benefits are a function of the way the disability plan is written and the federal law that is supposed to protect employee benefits known as ERISA. Put simply, the deck is stacked against the players as it is against many other employees whose become disabled. The NFL players, however, often become disabled years after they stopped playing due to degererative conditions. Worse still, the NFL is reluctant to acknowledge the potentially damaging effects on the brain of multiple concussions like in the Boyd case.
