This website was created to inform former football players, fans and supporters of the actions being taken by retired players to collect what they fairly deserve, but that has not been distributed by the organizations that claim to be acting in the players’ best interest.
The first step in righting these wrongs has been to file a class-action lawsuit. We encourage you to visit the lawsuit website so that you understand the nature of our complaints.
The second step is to make sure that everyone – former players, fans and supporters – come together to support this important cause. Please join our cause or contact us if you have any questions.
Finally, the third step is for the players to take control of their publicity rights, for which over 90% of us recieve no payment. Stay tuned to this website for more information.
Thank you,
Herb & Bernie
The goal of Retired Pro Football Players for Justice, a non-profit organization, is to provide an organized voice to all retired NFL players on issues such as royalties, pensions and disability payments.
The organization will engage in activities like bringing class action lawsuits, testifying before Congress, and providing information to the media highlighting the situation of those whose former physically demanding careers have resulted in long-term damage to their health. In addition, we will establish an alternative to the current marketing and licensing system which will empower players.
The hard work that a professional football player puts in to rise to the highest athletic level should result in post-career benefits equivalent to those in any high-achieving job. Unfortunately, that is not the case and it is a problem which we will vigorously attack.
