41:55Now PlayingJoin hosts Michael Barr, Damian Sassower and Vanessa Perdomo for a look at some of the latest headlines and stories in the business of sports.
The former football player who fatally shot four people and himself in Midtown Manhattan claimed to have a poorly understood brain disease, putting a renewed focus on the link between head injuries in sports and irreversible brain damage. Shane Tamura was targeting the National Football League’s headquarters when he entered 345 Park Avenue, a skyscraper that’s also home to offices of private equity giant Blackstone Inc. and consultant KPMG. One NFL employee was injured in the shooting.
In 2015, the league reached a $765 million settlement with over 4,500 players who claimed in a lawsuit that the NFL had hidden the dangers of concussions. The league denied any wrongdoing. Years after the settlement, the NFL is still grappling with issues related to head injuries. Bloomberg US sports business reporter Randall Williams joins to discuss his reporting on the aftermath of the shooting and why getting answers on CTE has proven so difficult for the NFL.
