Jerome Bettis Feels 'Taken Advantage Of' by NFL's Lack of Honesty on Concussions

Former NFL running back Jerome Bettis said he felt "taken advantage of" because the league didn't provide players with enough information about concussions during his playing days.

"You definitely feel as though you were taken advantage of in a way that you weren't given that information, and you always want to have the choice of knowing, and when that is taken away from you, you feel as though you were taken advantage of," Bettis told the Associated Press on Monday, via Michael David Smith of Pro Football Talk.

Bettis' comments came at an event in Israel where players visited a neurotechnology company which is working to improve how concussions are diagnosed.
