The concussion settlement the NFL struck with former players "routinely fails to deliver money and medical care to former players suffering from dementia and CTE," according to the Washington Post's Will Hobson.
In 2015, a federal judge approved a settlement between the NFL and a group of more than 5,000 retired players. Under the terms of the deal, players were entitled to get a monetary award if they were deemed to be suffering neurological problems that stemmed from playing football.
Hobson detailed how the settlement was less straightforward than one might believe.
