NEWARK, N.J. (AP) -The NFL’s newly reorganized Players Alumni Association officially opened its new headquarters with a focus on the needs of its retired players and their general illnesses.
With the league’s administrators, owners, and some current and retired players in attendance Wednesday night, commissioner Roger Goodell says he realizes the importance of having an organization – a totally separate entity from the NFL – that serves former players.
In previous years, the NFL Players Alumni Association concentrated on charity-related events and finding employment for former players. Now, it’s focused on getting proper health care for retired players, especially treatment for long-standing head trauma injuries, including brain damage caused by multiple concussions.
