I think the problem is whether the NFL is fully forthcoming or have withheld research they have done. If the players were making fully informed decisions that is one thing, but if they believed that they were not doing any lasting hard and then the NFL withheld information so they would continue to play, that is definitely a violation.
Also that McD's case is thrown around a lot as a common sense case, but when you get into the details McD's actually looks pretty liable.
