The judge's rejection of the NFL's propose settlement on concussions is the tip of the iceberg. As more and more stories like Wright's get told, the league's exposure to jury awards will quickly approach truly astronomical figures.

The NFL is in tough because violent collisions are the entire basis of the game. The NHL can do much more to reduce concussions, and sooner or later its lawyers are going to tell the league you WILL ban fighting or else be sued into non-existence. If Bettman is smart they'll do it sooner rather than later.
