"Everyone now has a . more substantial understanding about concussions and how to prevent and manage them than they did 20 or even 10 years ago and the information conveyed to players reflects that'' Phillips wrote "In addition the labor law defenses asserted by the NFL would represent a very substantial barrier to asserting these kinds of claims going forward''No wonder Goodell was dancing in the proverbial end zone The NFL won this legal showdown by two touchdowns even if the points scored for the plaintiffs in dire straits are much harder to quantifyFor some former players and their families no amount of money ever could replace a loved one or recover the quality of life they enjoyed before their bodies and minds began to break down For others who are beginning to enter the phase of their lives former players dread the money will help preserve some dignity and at least finally provide some tangible evidence the league cares"(It's) a way for the NFL to protect the game and its pocketbooks'' said former Bears linebacker Hunter Hillenmeyer who wasn't a plaintiff but sustained concussions while playing "For me as a guy reasonably informed it raised more questions than answers It sounds good but the devil's in the details I guess those who need help the worst will get it right away so that I applaud''Settling now to provide a little instant relief for those men whose personal costs were inestimable was the right thing for the NFL to do Conveniently it also turned out to be the best thing for the business interests of the league Which was more important to the league Does it matterLawyers can use whatever language they want in the agreement to describe how the NFL ultimately accomplished both those goals Just don't forget the word progressTwitter @DavidHaugh the final bill for the league will approach $1 billion yes, this thing would have been over a long time ago. I didn't talk about one championship it was multiple championships. among others). I'll leave you with the passage in? my book about my stint as a Vanity Fair editor in which I describe the crucial meeting where I persuaded the magazine's editor Graydon Carter to embrace Cool Britannia:A few days later I was summoned to Graydon??s office again only this time it was full of people In addition to Aim??e Bell George Hodgman the Senior Articles Editor was there as was David Harris the Art Director Gregory Mastrianni the Associate Art Director and Lisa Berman the Associate Photo Editor It soon became apparent that Graydon had convened this star chamber to hear my pitch Clearly he was considering devoting more than just a page to London??s cultural renaissance If I could only persuade these people that the Zeitgeist was currently residing across the Atlantic this might turn into a photographic ??portfolio?? or better yet a ??special issue?? Exactly what my role would be wasn??t clear but whatever it was it had to be better than writing photo captions Here at last was a chance to prove myselfNaturally I fluffed it My 10-minute presentation was politely received but I could tell that they remained unconvinced It was partly that the source was tainted Of course I would sing London??s praises ?C I was from there It was also civic pride: they were loath to admit that New York??s claim to being the coolest city on the planet was under threat from London of all places When Giuliani famously said ??Our city can kick your city??s ass?? he was speaking for every New Yorker Whatever the reason they weren??t buying itI was momentarily at a loss How do you go about convincing people that such-and-such a thing is currently in fashion or as the Cond?? Nasties put it ??on fire?? I cited various bits of empirical evidence ?C for instance of all the French tourists flooding in to London 45% were under 25 ?C but they weren??t exactly conclusive When it comes to the precise whereabouts of the Zeitgeist at any particular moment the issue turns on how much weight you attach to this kind of data; the facts alone can??t speak for themselves It was more a matter of gut feelingI hadn??t expected them to take the question of whether London really was the in place to be so seriously Surely when a magazine like Vanity Fair announces that a particular place is hot whether it??s a restaurant a neighbourhood or a city it??s not an example of straightforward news reporting Rather it??s an act of anointment Even if it??s not true it becomes true as soon as the article appears This is an area in which the dissemination of information has such a profound impact on the story that old-fashioned notions of objectivity and impartiality don??t apply ?C it??s the journalistic equivalent of the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle Yet here they were knitting their brows conscientiously weighing the matter upI was suddenly struck by a parallel between a debate about whether something??s in or out and a discussion about whether something??s right or wrong I remembered from studying philosophy at Oxford that one of the hallmarks of moral pronouncements such as ??murder is wrong?? is that they??re ??unverifiable??; that is no amount of factual evidence can decide the issue of whether they??re valid or not The same appeared to be true of pronouncements about the ZeitgeistThen I remembered something John Maynard Keynes had written about the circle surrounding the Cambridge moral philosopher GE Moore According to Keynes Moore succeeded in dominating his disciples not because he could outmanoeuvre them in argument but simply because he had the loudest voice Moore carried the day because he appeared to be so much more confident than anyone else In Keynes??s view the key to persuading someone of the rightness of your moral point of view lay in asserting it as emphatically as possible There was nothing more to it than that Once your opponents got a whiff of just how unambivalent you were they??d come round to your way of thinkingCould the same principle be applied to the discussion we were having about whether the Zeitgeist had taken up residence beside the Thames I decided to put it to the test??London??s hot right now?? I said trying to inject a note of definitiveness into my voice ??It??s buzzing You can almost feel the electricity as soon as you land at Heathrow????Really?? asked David Harris??Absolutely?? I replied??You think this Swinging London Mark II thing is totally for real?? asked Aim??e??No question?? I said looking pointedly at each person in turn ??Make no mistake: this phenomenon is very very real??It seemed to be doing the trick They were looking at each other and nodding: He may just be on to something here They began to crumble avid Harris [hesitant]: Well maybeMe: Honestly we won??t regret itAim??e Bell [ambivalent]: If you??re absolutely sureMe: 100% positiveGeorge Hodgman: It sounds right to meA silence descended on the group A consensus had emerged London was on fire??F**k it?? said Graydon ??Let??s do it??
