Congressional report finds NFL improperly intervened in brain research, cost taxpayers $16 million

Really sad the NFL would do this. They say player safety is a priority but then do this. $9billion a year NFL pays Commisioner Goddel $34.1 million a year but commits a measly $16 million to research then goes back on its signed commitment. Only the NFL does something like this and no outrage.
What the NFL wants is equivalent to big tobacco telling NIH who should do the research on tobacco and lung cancer. Is the NFL that stupid?
