The players and the public just found out about the degree of these risks.
2500 former players have filed a lawsuit claiming that the NFL (like the tobacco companies) suppressed study data showing these risks. If true, then the only people who knew all of what was going on in years past was the NFL ownership itself.
Have you not been paying attention to this in the news?
