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.

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
