Michigan football's Gemon Green retains attorney after suffering concussion in tunnel incident

Michigan defensive back Gemon Green has retained Tom Mars of Mars Law Firm to represent him in a lawsuit against Michigan State players after he was "assaulted" in the tunnel on Saturday night following U-M's 29-7 win over MSU, Mars confirmed to the Free Press.

"When college football players brutally attack a member of the opposing team with their helmets, resulting in the player suffering a concussion and other injuries, an apology won’t suffice," Mars said in a written statement. "There has to be severe consequences for this kind of misconduct. Not only does Gemon Green deserve to be compensated for his injuries, severe consequences in this case will deter others who might think they can get away with brutally beating an opposing player and only get a slap on the wrist.
