In league where head injuries are ignored, former Bear Desmond Clark questions NFL team doctors

I must say, I’m shocked that a league like the NFL — that dangerously and intentionally hid the truth about the link between football and brain injuries for decades — would ever explicitly omit any important medical information. A league that has prescribed painkillers to it’s players as the main fix for the damage they suffer in games for years, without any hint of directly facilitating a more reasonable treatment option, like medical marijuana. Surely it’s blasphemous to insinuate the NFL doesn’t have the best interest or well being of it’s participants in mind. I don’t see any evidence of that, no sir.
