Peter King of Sports Illustrated provides a statement from Dan Marino, who speaks about his decision to remove himself as a plaintiff in a concussion lawsuit against the NFL:
"Within the last year I authorized a claim to be filed on my behalf just in case I needed future medical coverage to protect me and my family in the event I later suffered from the effects of head trauma. In so doing I did not realize I would be automatically listed as a plaintiff in a lawsuit against the NFL. I have made the decision it is not necessary for me to be part of any claims or this lawsuit and therefore I am withdrawing as a plaintiff effective immediately. I am sympathetic to other players who are seeking relief who may have suffered head injuries. I also disclaim any references in the form complaint of current head injuries."Original Text
Hall of Fame quarterback Dan Marino was reportedly added to the latest concussion lawsuit against the NFL by mistake, and his representatives are currently working to have him removed from the litigation.
Dave Hyde of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports a source close to the situation stated Marino was working to protect himself from future health complications and ended up as part of the lawsuit:
"It was never Marino's intention to initiate litigation in this case, but to ensure that in the event he had adverse health consequences down the road, he would be covered with health benefits. They are working to correct the error."Read the full story: www.bleacherreport.com
