I think the players are just using this as leverage to get the NFL to settle on better benefits for retired players.
short of a smoking gun, they really don't have much of a chance at this... unless they get in front of a jury. I have zero faith in the average citizen to be able to decide a case based on its merits and not emotional attachment.
