Myth:
“While U.S. life expectancy is 77.6 years, recent studies suggest the
average
for NFL players is 55.”
Source: St. Petersburg Times
Fact: “A government study found a lower death rate among former NFL players
than among men in the general population. Former players also had a lower
rate of cancer-related deaths. And the rate of deaths from heart disease was
lower, too.”
Source: New York Times
Fact: “We found the players in our study had a much lower rate of death
overall compared to men in the general population. This means that, on
average, NFL players (77.5-year life expectancy) are actually living longer
than men in the general population (74.7 years).”

Myth:
“78% of all NFL players are divorced, bankrupt or unemployed two years
after leaving the NFL.”
Source: ESPN
Fact: The divorce rates for NFL retirees (age 30-49) are comparably lower to
the divorce rates for the same segment of the general population (20
percent vs. 26 percent). NFL retirees are more likely to be currently
married than other men in the general population.

Myth:
“Most pros never finish college, and the majority do little to prepare for
the
day when they venture into the real world.”

Fact: The overall college graduation rate of about 80 percent among retired
NFL players is much higher than the general population rate of 30 percent.

Myth:
“The suicide rate among former NFL players is six times the national
average.”
Source: Gamesover.org
Fact: “When the NFLPA asked NIOSH to look at more than 3,000 retired league
veterans, the researchers found nine suicides rather than the 22 they might
have expected to find. NFL players commit suicide at less than half the
rate of other American men.”
Source: “The War on Football,” by Daniel Flynn
Fact: In relationship to the overall U.S. male population, NFL active/former
players’ suicide rate, at 6.1 per 100,000 since 1987 and 12.5 per 100,000
since 2005 is below the US male suicide rate of 19.2 per 100,000 as
documented in 2009.

Myth:
“What do NFL owners care? To them, players aren't people. They're
commodities to be bought and sold, acquired and released.”

Fact: NFL owners have consistently (and voluntarily) strengthened the
services and benefits available to retirees in renegotiations of the
Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) with active players over the past
several decades.
The landmark CBA agreed upon in 2011 by the NFL and NFL Players Association
included additional funding of approximately $1 billion for retiree benefits
. The largest single amount, $620 million, is being used for the Legacy Fund
, which has increased pensions for pre-1993 retirees.

from free health screenings to pension to career transition services – can
