Goodell on Lawsuit by the Aaron Hernandez Family: ‘We’ll Let the Lawyers Handle That’

‘That will work its way through the litigation’

EXCERPT:

REPORTER: "What is your reaction to the lawsuit filed against the NFL by the Aaron Hernandez family and their allegation that the NFL doesn’t inform players about the risks of CTE?"
GOODELL: "This is a matter of litigation. That is something that will work its way through the litigation. I think there has been a great deal of focus on this issue of brain trauma. We’ve been through a great deal of litigation on this issue and settled a major case on concussions. We’ll let the lawyers handle that and deal with it."
