Duerson family lawsuit against the NFL
March 2, 2012
After a successful post-football career in business, Dave Duerson spiralled into erratic and violent behavior in his final years before shooting himself in the chest 2 years ago. He shot himself in the chest on purpose, because he wanted his brain to be studied for football-related brain damage.
The autopsy showed he was right. And now his family is suing the NFL, as Lester Munson WRITES HERE. Interesting case.
Would you let your kids play American football? I might not, at this point, after some of the stories we’ve seen in recent years (including former Pittsburgh star Mike Webster, chicago quarterback Jim McMahon- who enters rooms and can’t remember why he did so), and so forth.
