Episode Synopsis


Almost a decade ago, the National Football League pushed through a scandal involving the effects of the sport of the brains of its athletes. After years of denials and obstruction, the NFL settled a lawsuit in 2013 to provide healthcare benefits to its former players to treat their cognitive issues. The problem? It turns out the league actively used racist medical ideologies to make it harder for Black former players to receive their fair share of the settlement. And once again, the league scrambles to deny, cover up, and move on from this story.Source List:  https://www.disinformed.ca/ag-sources/nov-2921-sources-listShow Notes:  https://www.disinformed.ca/ag-show-notes/nov-29-2021-show-notesFollow the show on twitter and instagram @disinformeddanMusic Produced by: David Felton
