Case Summary

This is case about health safety and racial discrimination involving the National Football League (NFL) and its players. This federal multidistrict litigation arose from four parallel actions: one in the U.S. District Court of the Eastern District of Pennsylvania and three in the U.S. District Court of the Central District of California.

This is case about health safety and racial discrimination involving the National Football League (NFL) and its players. This federal multidistrict litigation arose from four parallel actions: one in the U.S. District Court of the Eastern District of Pennsylvania and three in the U.S. District Court of the Central District of California. These cases were consolidated in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania. The initial plaintiffs were former NFL players. However, the certified class came to consist of all living NFL players who were retired prior to class certification; their authorized representatives; and the players’ spouses, parents, or children of the players. The plaintiffs sued on twenty-eight different counts related to tortious misconduct and fraud on the part of the NFL. The plaintiffs sought a declaration of liability, injunctive relief, medical monitoring, and financial compensation for long-term chronic injuries and financial injuries suffered by the players due to mismanagement and misdiagnoses of mild traumatic brain injuries (MTBI) in the game. The case was assigned to Judge Anita B. Brody and reassigned to different judges as the case progressed.

Initial Suit

The defendants filed a motion to dismiss on August 30, 2012, but prior to that motion’s resolution and at the court’s direction, the parties began settlement negotiations on July 8, 2013. On August 29, 2013, the parties agreed to an initial settlement term sheet, and on June 25, 2014, the parties produced an initial class action settlement agreement. This settlement included provisions for the defendants to: (1) provide payments to settlement class members, provided that they met qualifying medical diagnoses, and (2) establish an education fund to support education about player safety for youth football and medical effects for retired players. Monetary damages for each member of the class were to be tiered based on seasons played, age at the time of diagnosis, and various demographically adjusted statistical data for cognitive abilities. Parties could opt out until October 14, 2014, to preserve their right to separately sue. Subsequent amendments tweaked aspects of the agreement at the behest of additional class members, with the final agreement coming on May 8, 2015. 2015 WL 12827803.

On April 18, 2016, the Third Circuit affirmed the district court's approval of the class settlement.  As of January 30, 2022, the NFL had paid out more than $800 million in settlement claims.

Also in early 2017, the parties developed a user manual (the "BAP Clinician’s Interpretation Guide") for the neuropsychologists administering medical diagnoses as part of the settlement. The BAP Clinician’s Interpretation Guide recommended, but did not require, clinicians to use “full demographic corrections” in administering neuropsychological testing. These corrections included the use of racial norms, whereby the cognitive baseline and abilities of different races would be judged differently.

Racial Norms Challenge

In August 25, 2020, two former NFL players who were part of the settlement class filed an objection to the decision rendered to them, arguing that the decision deprived them of equal rights under the law, since the use of race norms in the BAP Clinician's Interpretation Guide violated the Civil Rights Act (42 U.S.C. § 1981). The court denied the motion on November 20, 2020, but not on the merits; instead, the court found that the players had failed to exhaust their administrative remedies under the class action settlement's own terms.

On March 8, 2021, the district court referred the two sides to mediation, as supervised by Magistrate Judge David Strawbridge, to address the concerns about the potential use of race norms. One week later, the two players filed a motion to intervene and to stay mediation pending the motion to intervene. After subsequent negotiations, on April 8, 2021, the district court entered an order reserving decision on the motion and referring the parties to the original settlement to Magistrate Judge Strawbridge.

On June 3, 2021, the district court at last granted the two players' motion to intervene. It denied the motion to stay mediation because the players' intervention could facilitate the mediation process given their research on the appropriate use of norms.

As of February 6, 2023, while the settlement order has been completed, the case remains ongoing with continuing mediation about replacing the race norms.

There were some appeals from the NFL for the damage judgments, asking the court to reconsider these damages in light of no racial norms. This is still ongoing.

Attorney Fees and Lien Notices

As the case continued into late 2022, several plaintiffs represented in the class requested attorneys' fees. On August, 4, 2022, Magistrate Judge Strawbridge signed a recommendation that the claims administrator distribute these attorney fees.

In addition to requested attorney fees, there had been several attorney lien notices and orders granted by the Magistrate Judge Strawbridge. Similar to the attorneys' fee requests, Magistrate Judge Strawbridge ordered that the claims administrator distribute the lien funds to the attorneys. As of February 6, 2023, the distribution of lien funds is ongoing.
