After a long-running legal battle with more than 4,000 players and their families over what the NFL knew about head injuries in football, the league decided to settle for $765 million on Thursday. The money, according to reports, will go to medical exams, concussion-related compensation and medical research, as well as the court costs (which we're guessing are a hefty bundle).
News of the settlement immediately sparked debate across social media. But how do actual NFL players feel about it? Some questions from outspoken Oakland punter Chris Kluwe:
Glad to see the older guys are getting taken care of with the concussion settlement. It'll never be enough, but it's a start.

Curious, though, what the NFL is going to do after putting $765 million into figuring out you can't pad the inside of someone's head.

Also, when does the NCAA make its payouts to college athletes? Those guys aren't getting anything to deal with future medical bills.
