Since the Congressional report issued two days ago on whether or not the NFL inappropriately attempted to intervene in concussion research conducted through the National Institutes of Health, the league’s response has largely been fairly insubstantial, particularly if you compare it to their aggressive and rapid reactions to other accounts in the past.
I believe that that in and of itself has something to say about the nature of the NFL’s predicament regarding allegations that they efforted to influence the allocation of grant money that they funded, which they were fully aware is supposed to be an entirely independent effort unaided by donors.
