The AP (3/4, Dale) reported, “Black retired football players who were denied payments for dementia in the NFL’s $1 billion concussion settlement can seek to be retested or have their claims rescored to eliminate racial bias in the testing and payout formula, under a revised plan finalized Friday.” The AP added, “Outrage over the use of ‘race-norming’ in the dementia testing…forced the NFL and players’ lawyers back to the negotiating table last year.” These “revisions could allow many retired players to resubmit their claims and add $100 million or more to the NFL’s legal tab.”
