They do sign a waiver like that. That is why the issue was not that hits and concussions cause CTE, but rather that the NFL knew that and covered it up. That makes the actions of the NFL malicious, and not simply gross negligence.

Intentional torts are not held subject to exculpatory clauses, only negligence.

Isn't there some kind of "well no shit Sherlock" exemption to that law?

I'm talking about moving forward. As CTE is now a known issue, its a risk you decide to accept or not. Completely understand suits or the frustrations of old players though.
