Illegally Dispensing Powerful Narcotics

I did play football for about 4 years. 
My playing days were over in 1952
when I joined Ontario Hydro.
 Really never had a serious injury but my bell
was rung a few times. Just some ringing in
 the ears and a little dizziness.
The coaches all advised you will get
over it, and sent us back in to play.

Jim McMahon is one of several  NFL players identified by name in a federal lawsuit filed in California last month accusing teams of illegally dispensing powerful narcotics and other drugs to keep players on the field without regard for their long-term health. He now suffers from dementia.

He also is part of a class-action lawsuit in which the NFL agreed to a $765 million settlement without acknowledging it hid the risks of concussions from former players. A federal judge has yet to approve the settlement, expressing concern the amount is too small.

While McMahon wouldn't discuss the most recent suit, he did talk about the troubles he has faced in recent years, issues he believes took root when he was getting battered on the field.
