The @Patriots seem to have made a change this season – stay away from the facility if you’re sick. 2015: 7 OUTs due to illness, 2016: 0. https://t.co/JPYaZM3HEE

Will future insurance plans consider early-onset Parkinson’s, ALS, dementia or Alzheimer’s a Pre-existing condition? https://t.co/9bUrAcmCNG
— Jane McManus (@janesports) January 12, 2017
If pre-existing conditions aren’t covered, that becomes a huge concern for pro athletes once they leave their sports. Particularly football.

In case you missed it…a very important issue that’s affecting many former players

New York DFS Lawsuit
NY Attorney General, who once said that #DFS violates the state constitution, seeks dismissal of lawsuit challenging NY #DFS law.

Perhaps it wasn’t such a good idea for the New York Attorney General’s Office to be the defender of the #DFS industry in court. Bad optics.
