Fck the nfl. Roger and the boys are worried about their cash cow, not the safety of the players. So they're trying to bully the NYT by threatening a law suit

Well if the NFL wants to appeal the findings of the NY Times piece they are more than welcome to. The NY Times will offer a hearing and do its own investigation and then decide if it should stick to the article after hearing the NFL out after which there will of course be no other arbitration or appeal process.

I sincerely hope the Times tells the NFL to shove that demand up their ass followed by a single digit salute.

Sports editor Jason Stallman said the Times sees "no reason to retract anything."

Close enough.

Good luck NFL (in a sarcastic way). The toughest thing to do is to fight the Press!

The Times needs to go all Hal 9000 on the NFL.

"Retract the concussion story Times"
"I am sorry NFL, I'm afraid I can't do that".

Please do follow through with the lawsuit NFL. Draw all the attention this thing needs instead of letting it go away. So unlike you.

The NFL seems flabbergasted as to what to do, they're too used to the media slobbering all over them and fighting for their table scraps.

Come on Nfl. Do it.
Take it to court. You know you want to.

The irony is too much here, the nfl is turned into a joke under the Goodell reign.

Ted Wells. Please do your "independent investigation" into this. Hopefully the NY Times will politely tell them to screw off.

Should have added, "If the NFL has any new information that would cause us to change our decision, we'll be open to hear it."

Hey NFL,

Oh, the irony is so delicious.

The truth and facts are so important now.

These A holes really think they can do anything they want to. Hey NFL, how's it feel to want. F U

What motivates the NFL owners? Integrity? No. Money.

What is motivating the NYT to print on CTE? Money.

Capitalism at work.

The NFL feels its being treated unfairly, says that the NYT is making assumptions based on nothing but circumstantial evidence, has posted a long rebuttal to the accusations on their own website, and wants justice for having its reputation dragged through the mud?

This is a F'ing joke, right?

It's great watching the NFL pivot to righteous indignation, claiming that someone else is slandering them with innuendo and accusations that are allegedly not 100% founded in irrefutable scientific fact. I wonder if they realize how hypocritical they are.
