[Malcolm Gladwell called it](http://www.newyorker.com/reporting/2009/10/19/091019fa%5Ffact%5Fgladwell?ref=killscreen.com). Kids might play *Madden* someday with the same incredulity as *Pitfighter* and ask “Did we really used to do that?” [HuffPo reports](http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/06/07/nfl-concussion-brain-trauma-lawsuit-players%5Fn%5F1577497.html?ref=killscreen.com) on the lawsuit’s accusation that the NFL knew the risks, but did nothing:

> The NFL, like the sport of boxing, was aware of the health risks associated with repetitive blows producing sub-concussive and concussive results and the fact that some members of the NFL player population were at significant risk of developing long-term brain damage and cognitive decline as a result.  
>  
> Despite its knowledge and controlling role in governing player conduct on and off the field, the NFL turned a blind eye to the risk and failed to warn and/or impose safety regulations governing this well-recognized health and safety problem.
