The NFL's position on head injuries and behavioral issues has changed significantly over time. In recent years, the league has acknowledged the link between head injuries sustained in football and long-term behavioral issues such as chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) and mood disorders. The NFL has taken steps to address player safety and reduce the risk of head injuries through rule changes, improved equipment, and increased medical research and support for players. Additionally, the NFL has settled lawsuits with former players who suffered from brain injuries as a result of their time in the league. Overall, the NFL is now more proactive in addressing the long-term effects of head injuries on players' health and well-being.
