Youth football organizations hope a research fund built into the $765
million settlement between the National Football League and its players
will help to reassure parents that the game is getting safer.
.
The settlement, announced Thursday, ends a years-long dispute between the
NFL and more than 4,500 retired players who claim the league "ignored,
minimized, disputed and actively suppressed" awareness of the link between
concussions and chronic neurological disease.
.
The deal includes $675 million in compensation to former players or their
families, a $75 million investment in baseline neurological testing and a
$10 million research and education fund.
.
"This will mean more research adding to what we're already doing on a
national level in terms of football player safety," said Steve Alic,
spokesman for the Indianapolis-based nonprofit organization USA Football.
"Player safety will be advanced not just in football but in every sport."

Youth football registration has decreased in recent years, Alic said,
noting that numbers for basketball, soccer and baseball were also down.
But he's optimistic that programs aimed at educating families about the
dangers of concussions and teaching kids safer ways to play will keep
participation strong.
.
"Parents are gaining the assurance that coaches are prepared to teach the
game better and safer," he said, noting that 2.8 million kids between the
ages of 6 and 14 currently play in youth tackle leagues. "And the
additional research money coming from this [settlement] is good news for
all sports."
