The biggest question that remains unanswered is whether players will ever be fully paid for the servicesthey have and will henceforth render, with the knowledge that they are risking their long-term health and welfare every time they step foot onto a football field.
For doctors and hospitals, the shift of Medicare to private insurance would mean that they will bepaid market rates for their services, and their compensation would no longer be a political football for demagogues.
In return for the servicesthey were obligated to provide to their teams, the players were to bepaid specific compensation per the terms of their individual agreements.
