In recent past, more and more ex-NFL players have been found dead for no obvious reason. Many of them died due to gun shot wounds, while others were found to have taken drugs or they asphyxiated themselves. Autopsies have shown that many of these players suffered from severe depression thought to be stemming from excessive head blows during their career in the NFL. Many players are now saying that they deserve better compensation because of how dangerous playing in the NFL is becoming.
