Derrick Brooks among Hall of Famers threatening to boycott induction ceremonies

Former Bucs linebacker Derrick Brooks is among several Pro Football Hall of Famers who signed a letter today saying they would not attend the Hall's annual induction ceremony until they receive health insurance and an annual salary that includes a share of league revenue, ESPN reports.

The letter was sent by Eric Dickerson, chairman of the Hall of Fame Board, to NFL commissioner Roger Goodell, NFL Players Association executive director DeMaurice Smith and C. David Baker, president of the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

"The time has come for us to be treated as part of a game we've given so much to," the letter reads, in part.
