I hope the NFL/UNION steps up to the plate on this one and helps these older retired guys out that made this league what it is.

Alot of these guys can either barley make it, are crippled, or are on the street, you talk about fleecing of America, help the guys out that desperately need it! Espically with NFL revenues at ALL time highs!



The NFL announced that it would be coordinating efforts with the NFL Players Association, the NFL Retired Players Association and other agencies with ties to the league to aid retired players in need of medical assistance.
"All of us in the NFL want to help former players that now find themselves in need of medical care through no fault of their own," Goodell said.
During the week leading up to the Super Bowl, numerous former players, including Mike Ditka, were critical of the NFL and NFLPA for not helping players in dire need of care.
Goodell said the alliance was not in response to those complaints but is an attempt to make sure all efforts are coordinated.
