The court case that will decide the NFLs future began in Philadelphia on
Tuesday, kicking off with an hour-long battle over the leagues past.
.
In a muggy courtroom crammed with former players and their widowsand with
hundreds of other attendees watching the live feed from a second courtroom
downstairsU.S. District Judge Anita Brody heard arguments over whether to
dismiss the case or allow it to proceed to trial.
.
Boiling down both sides positions
.
At this point, theres no question that concussions are linked with
long-term health problems; the NFL in 2010 acknowledged as much.
.
The legal dispute advanced by the players essentially centers on
concealment. Namely, what did the NFL knowand when did it know it?
.
As a result:
.
The NFL wants to settle with the players through arbitration,
suggesting that their grievances are covered through collective bargaining
agreements. In theory, this approach would contain the leagues losses.
.
The players lawsuit, which now includes more than 4,000 of the leagues
12,000 former players, argues that the NFL deliberately withheld
information about the risks of playing football, even while profiting off
of it. That would raise new questions of negligence and fraud that need to
be settled at trial, the lawsuit alleges.
.
The hearing matched two of the nations top Supreme Court lawyers, who
spent the bulk of the hour, podium to podium, in a gripping matchup over
legal precedent.
