The Cincinnati Bengals are under fire for wanting to change the way Ohio law sees workers’ compensation injuries in athletic events.
The team is wanting the state to change the way players would get compensation if they are injured while on the field. Here is part of what The Enquirer’s Haley BeMiller wrote on the matter.
“A measure drafted by Rep. Bill Seitz, R-Cincinnati, would bar active professional athletes from filing for permanent partial disability over an injury or illness related to their job. Seitz said he’s working with Bengals leaders on the amendment, but if passed, it would apply to players on the Cleveland Browns, Columbus Blue Jackets and other Ohio teams,” BeMiller wrote.
