March 12, 20232 yr Author comment_1699424 Sounds like it isn't necessarily a bad move they want to make. The want private insurance vs state? Not entirely clear, but BS tweet right before free agency
March 12, 20232 yr comment_1699429 Will look into this a bit deeper…Ohio Workers Comp is one area of our organizational interests. On the surface, unsure if statute distinguishes between “mainstream” and “special” business; but there are different classifications of “workplace injury” exposures—each charge the employers a different rate. Also, Ohio is a “sole remedy” state—and Work Comp is that sole remedy. The state handles it all for work-related injury. https://www.wcpo.com/sports/football/bengals/nflpa-bengals-ownership-is-attempting-to-strip-workers-compensation-benefits-from-ohio-athletes
March 12, 20232 yr comment_1699430 Kind of a 30,000 ft overview—and it doesn’t really delve into Ohio exceptions—but does illustrate that this question goes far beyond what the Bengals are wishing to do: https://www.iwpharmacy.com/blog/professional-athletes-and-workers-compensation-eligibility And this one comes from lawyers’ POV…more instructional than anything. But it does get to the apparent central theme that the NFLPA is bloviating over… that of “permanent” or “permanent partial” disability…a big ticket money item https://www.lawyer-monthly.com/2021/04/are-professional-athletes-entitled-to-workers-compensation/
