The NFL has backed out of a massive research project that is seeking to better understand the relationship between playing football and brain disease, according to a report. In 2014, he filed a declaration opposing the NFL’s settlement with several former players who claimed they were lied to about the dangers of playing football. Today, McCarthy tweeted that the story was wrong.
“Through the Sports and Health Research Program (SHRP) -a partnership among the National Institutes of Health, the National Football League, and the Foundation for the National Institutes of Health (FNIH)-multiple studies have been and will continue to be funded to examine traumatic brain injury in athletes”, the NIH statement read.
Stern has been critical of the NFL’s handling of CTE and concussions with its players, including an initial settlement offer to players made in 2013 that was subsequently increased to $1 billion.
“This problem is larger than the NFL”, said Dr. Walter Koroshetz, director of the NIH’s National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke. “The NIH makes its own funding decisions”, he said in an email. “The NFL has no “veto power” as part of its unrestricted $30 million grant to NIH”.
NFL PR denied the report, though no one accused the NFL of “pulling funding”, just exerting influence over how that funding was used.

Although the NFL says it welcomes any conversation about player health, the league vetoed the use of funding on a major CTE study. “But since then, the NFL has poured tens of millions of dollars into concussion research, allowing the league to maintain a powerful role on an issue that directly threatens its future”.
