An independent investigator has found documents and audio recordings which may point to a far-reaching conspiracy that goes to the highest levels of the NSFL. While the debate about football safety and concussion protocol has been happening in recent years, there is evidence to suggest that the NSFL front office has known about the dangers of the sport for far longer. Multiple independent researchers have claimed of late that their studies found significant links between professional football and Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE), but that their findings were suppressed by individuals employed by the NSFL.
Much like their sister company, the NFL, this is not the first time these allegations have come to light. But given the frequent rate of retirement among NSFL players, the concerns of investigators and journalists have come more to the forefront. When asked for comment, few NSFL employees were willing to speak with us; however, some agreed under the condition of anonymity.
“When it comes to CTE and former research,” one source said, “we didn’t think we were doing anything wrong. There were some findings that were noted, but we didn’t want to cause a panic and we thought we would handle these things internally. That’s how these types of organizations deal with crises. We would rather deal with it through our channels than cause some firestorm like you journalists are often trying to do.”
While concrete proof that the NSFL tried to cover up the dangers of CTE has not yet been released, there is certainly reason for concern among the players all the way down to the fans.
