If the NFL didn't spend years covering up research into the dangers of playing football, and just required players to sign a waiver (in plain English) as part of their contracts, they wouldn't have to try and neuter the game like this.
This all sounds good, but the reality is you can't sign away the negligence of not protecting your employee in good faith. As an employer, the NFL must attempt to create the safest work conditions possible within reason for it's employees. Avoiding rule changes that could improve employee health for the sake of ratings is a court battle they would lose.
