The suit claimed his 15 years of arena football, and the playing he did while working as an extra on The Longest Yard and Invincible, caused brain injury and that the defendants knew or should have known such injuries are a substantial risk ...

Football has returned, but what will be the fate of other productions — including football movies — proceeding despite known health risks? In the era of Covid, there’s quite a few of them.
In a perhaps surprising ruling, a Los Angeles judge has allowed the family of deceased football player Darryl Hammond to move forward in a wrongful death lawsuit targeting Disney and Paramount Pictures. The suit accuses the studios of concealing information about the risks of head injuries from football.

I've been a fan of Saturday Night Live since the mid-1980's, and covered it on a weekly basis for six seasons. So when I say this was one of the worst episodes the show has ever done, I wanted to properly frame the context around that statement.
