As you all know, Shawn Wooden and Kevin Turner have been our two Class Representatives on the NFL Concussion litigation and the Settlement.
Shawn recently wrote an article posted at The Players’ Tribune website at this link: The Long Game
As a financial advisor, Shawn has a unique perspective on the NFL Concussion Settlement and he compares it to a long term investment strategy.
In the article Shawn says "I have the honor of representing retired players who do not currently suffer from serious cognitive conditions like dementia, Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s or ALS, but who are worried and need protection for the future."
I fall into the group that Shawn is representing. I know that I will not be eligible for an award right now. At the same time, I also know that NFL players are much more likely, than the general public, to develop serious cognitive impairments and I want to make sure that me and my family are covered in the event that I should develop symptoms at a later date. It's an insurance policy - one that I hope I never collect.
