Brown's head now becomes a bigger target for every NFL team in the future as once concussed future concussions are more likely. The Steeler's won the battle, but likely lost the war again this year. The Bengals just plain lost. The NFL won because they got great ratings and can continue to lie about how they care so much about player safety (Burfict hit) while ignoring the hazier hit. I had a conversation with an attorney yesterday about the Gio hit. He suggested fans may want to consider a class action lawsuit against Shazier and the NFL as he believes the CBA prevents Gio from doing it. His point was not to win, but to bring exposure to Shazier and to the NFL for ignoring a helmet to helmet hit. It was an interesting idea.

Yes, the suit would be based on the emotional strife heaved on Bengals and NFL fans by the league ignoring the rules and suing part time unqualified officials. It would also be centered around representing all NFL players who were concussed and no flags thrown and no punishment after the plays were reviewed. His thought process is to expose the NFL as a fraud and to also remove their exemption.
