For Riddell helmets:
WARNING: NO HELMET CAN PREVENT SERIOUS HEAD OR NECK INJURIES A PLAYER MIGHT RECEIVE WHILE PARTICIPATING IN FOOTBALL. Do not use this helmet to butt, ram or spear an opposing player. This is in violation of the football rules and such use can result in severe head or neck injuries, paralysis or death to you and possible injury to your opponent. Contact in football may result in CONCUSSION-BRAIN INJURY which no helmet can prevent. Symptoms include: loss of consciousness or memory, dizziness, headache, nausea or confusion. If you have symptoms, immediately stop playing and report them to your coach, trainer and parents. Do not return to a game or practice until all symptoms are gone and you have received medical clearance. Ignoring this warning may lead to another and more serious or fatal brain injury.
For Schutt helmets:

This is a violation of football rules and may cause you to suffer severe brain or neck injury, including paralysis or death and possible injury to your opponent. Contact in football may result in Concussion/Brain injury which no helmet can prevent. Symptoms include: loss of consciousness or memory, dizziness, headache, nausea, or confusion. If you have symptoms, immediately stop and report them to your coach, trainer, and parents. Do not return to a game or contact until all symptoms are gone and you receive medical clearance. Ignoring this warning may lead to another and more serious or fatal brain injury. NO HELMET SYSTEM CAN PROTECT YOU FROM SERIOUS BRAIN AND/OR NECK INJURIES INCLUDING PARALYSIS OR DEATH. TO AVOID THESE RISKS, DO NOT ENGAGE IN THE SPORT OF FOOTBALL.

Now I want season tickets for life. And throw in the Super Bowl tickets as well.
With all due respect, that misses the point. The claim is that the players recognized the potential for injury, but the NFL had a duty to protect the players from further injuring themselves. The NFL undertook the responsibility to provide doctors and trainers to tend to the players when they were injured. These doctors, trainers and, by extension, the teams failed to protect these men from further injury thus compounding the damage done to them.
The argument is going to be that the players were not capable of making a reasoned decision to keep playing after they were concussed. The doctors, trainers and, by extension, the teams knew or should have known the implications of head trauma and the potential risks. These doctors, trainers and teams did not adequately warn, advise or protect these players from further injury.
When I was about 4 or 5 (1966 or 1967) I wrecked my bike and hit my head on a wrought iron fence post. I had a concussion and was hospitalized (common practice in those days). While in the hospital i fell out of my bed and struck my head again. The doctors were more concerned with the second injury than the first. That is going to be an argument in the current cases. Think the controversy over Colt McCoy last season getting over the affects of a concussion during a half time intermission.
The courts have gone from a contributory negligence standard (if the plaintiff did anything to aid in causing the injury, they are precluded from recovery) to a comparative fault standard (if the plaintiff did anything to aid in causing the injury, their recovery is reduced by the percentage of their actions that caused the injury). I don’t see this as being summarily dismissed. What I expect to see is a global settlement whereby players are given medical insurance for life if they played in the league and limited contact outside of actual games. The 18 game season is DOA. The owners can’t complain about that as they are already getting those games bought as part of the season ticket package.
