What to do?

Give athletes a health 101 at different stages of their lives/careers. Pre-emptive education.
White noise is the former players 'I wish I'd only known' take, while suing for millions.

Something else:
Instead of spending tens of millions trying to silence people who are raising awareness of CTE and related issues, how about spending that money on treatment, healthcare for players, insurance, etc.
Instead of spending money on PR firms to do said silencing, hire dedicated head-trauma specialists to help treat players and former players.
Instead of being proud of a league that shits on anthem kneelers under this completely bullshit guise of being "pro flag," while smearing Budweiser's flag-based logo feces everywhere, how about you give an actual shit about the players? You know, the ones who sacrifice their bodies to make you billions, just so you can cut them and leave them broken and penniless after their careers are over.
It's all moot anyway. All it's going to take is one, just one, iconic player like Peyton Manning or Tom Brady (someone like that) to be a drooling vegetable in their 50s for the whole thing to come crashing down, not to mention the lawsuits related to college athlete career-ending injuries.

Yes, exactly, the league is hiding concussion risks. That's not to say that the players "didn't know about it" as you so flippantly put it. A guy gets hurt, and the teams tell them that they're fine to walk back out onto the field or ice when they aren't. That's a MASSIVE difference. |

So they knew about it. Fascinating.
