Nine former NHL players filed major class action lawsuits against the National Hockey League in a U.S. District Court on Thursday, alleging that the league has generated billions of dollars while subjecting its players to the imminent risk of head trauma leading to devastating and long-term negative health consequences. The players in the suit - Dan LaCouture, Dan Keczmer, Jack Carlson, Richard Brennan, Brad Maxwell, Mike Peluso, Tom Younghans, Allan Rourke and Scott Bailey - are represented by Robbins Geller, the firm that won over $7 billion for victims of the 2001 Enron fraud. "As opposed to other elite-level ice hockey organizations, like the European ice hockey leagues and the Olympics, the NHL fostered and promoted an extremely physical game of ice hockey," read the complaint. "Through enclosed rink designs and lax rules for fighting, the NHL vectored a culture of extreme violence and packaged the spoils to adoring fans. "The NHL has failed and continues to fail to warn its players of these risks and consequences of head trauma, concealing material scientific and anecdotal information from its players. The NHL has failed to institute policies and protocols that could have and will protect its players from suffering or exacerbating head trauma sustained during practice or in games. "Specifically, despite the fact that the NHLs violent game design induces head trauma, including concussions, the NHL has failed and continues to fail to warn its players of the risks to their lives and the devastating and long-term negative health effects. In fact, the NHL affirmatively concealed specific anecdotal evidence from players and scientific evidence about the health risks and consequences associated with playing in the NHL, including head injuries. To maintain its billions in revenue, the NHL also purposefully failed to institute policies and protocols that would protect its players from exacerbating injuries sustained during practice or in games." The NHL will release a statement on Thursday afternoon addressing the lawsuits. More to follow. Kansas City Royals Jerseys Cheap . -- Tony Finau won the Stonebrae Classic on Sunday for his first Web.

"Well over 50 (per cent)," coach Claude Noel said Tuesday after practice, where the Jets were looking at ways to cut down the scoring chances theyve been giving away.Should Southampton have had a penalty? Should Cheikhou Kouyate have been sent off? Should Norwich have had their winner disallowed? Should Gareth Bales El Clasico goal have stood? In his weekly Ref Watch feature, former Premier League referee Dermot Gallagher appeared on Sky Sports Now to analyse the weekends big decisions.Was your team affected by a contentious decision? Read on to find out... MATCH: Leicester v Southampton, SundayINCIDENT: Sadio Mane was clean through on goal, ran around goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel but had a goalbound shot blocked by Leicesters Danny Simpson. Was it a handball?GALLAGHERS VERDICT: No penalty Graeme Souness and Peter Schmeichel analyse Danny Simpson blocking Sadio Manes goal-bound shot with his arm. GALLAGHERS VIEW: It has to be intentional, and not be committed. It wouldve hit his chest. But I think the rule has got to be more prescriptive, it has got to be, This is handball or, This isnt handball.MATCH: Leicester v Southampton, SundayINCIDENT: Southamptons Charlie Austin played a low cross in the area which appeared to strike Robert Huth on the arm, but the referee gave Southampton a corner rather than a spot kick.GALLAGHERS VERDICT: No penalty The ball played by Charlie Austin hit Robert Huths hand GALLAGHERS VIEW: The law says it has to be intentional and we have these guidelines. Has the ball come from a short distance? Well it has come from a short distance.It has come at speed, theres no doubt about that. Can he get his hand out the way? Im not convinced he can.MATCH: Leicester v Southampton, SundayINCIDENT: Wes Morgan rose above Jordy Clasie to head in Christian Fuchs cross to score, but the Leicester captain appeared to put his arm across the Dutchman whilst contending for the ball.GALLAGHERS VERDICT: No foul Wes Morgans goal correctly stood, says Gallagher GALLAGHERS VIEW: Michael Oliver has a great view of it, he can see what force he puts into it. I dont think its a foul.MATCH: Leicester v Southampton, SundayINCIDENT: Very early on in the second half, Victor Wanyama miscontrolled the ball, Jamie Vardy pounced on it and was dragged back with what appeared to be an arm across the face. A yellow card was given, but should it have been a red?GALLAGHERS VERDICT: No red card Victor Wanyama appeared to pull back Jamie Vardy GALLAGHERS VIEW: Hes on his shoulder to start with, I think its a pull-back and Michael has got that right. Hes very clever to realise the first touch is to take the ball away and not panicking to give a red card.MATCH: Norwich v Newcastle, SaturdayINCIDENT: In the 86th minute, Gary ONeil handled in the box and referee Mike Dean pointed to the spot for a penalty which Aleksandar Mitrovic converted.GALLAGHERS VERDICT: Penalty Gary ONeil handled the ball in the penalty box GALLAGHERS VIEW: This was almost a panic reaction, he sees the ball there and his arm is up. He moves his arm through and I can understand why the referee gave that.MATCH: Norwich v Newcastle, SaturdayINCIDENT: In the build up tto Norwichs winner, there was debate over whether Jonny Howson should have been pulled up for handball.ddddddddddddThe referee allowed play to continue.GALLAGHERS VERDICT: Goal should be disallowed Jonny Howson appeared to handle in the penalty box before laying the ball off for Martin Olssons winning goal GALLAGHERS VIEW: On Saturday I was watching this game live and I called handball straight away.I was sat next to another former referee who said no. The referee has got the best view and he thought no. Thats where were sat. Were not sure. There needs to be a sit-down to say, This is handball, this is not handball. This is why, this is why not.MATCH: West Ham v Crystal Palace, SaturdayINCIDENT: In the 68th minute, Cheikhou Kouyate was shown a straight red card by referee Mark Clattenburg for a studs-up challenge on Dwight Gayle.GALLAGHERS VERDICT: Red card Cheikhou Kouyate was sent off for his challenge on Dwight Gayle GALLAGHERS VIEW: Its a red card but Im in the minority. Whats going through the referees head is what were taught.The first touch takes the ball away, hes adamant he wants to get the ball back quickly so he lunges in. Everything youre taught as a referee is that when that ball runs away the warning bells go on.You see the straight leg catching him across the bottom of his foot, every referee is taught [that is a] red card.MATCH: Brighton v Burnley, SaturdayINCIDENT: Anthony Knockaert lunged for the ball Stephen Ward had control of, but the referee and linesman give nothing.GALLAGHERS VERDICT: Yellow card Knockaert was not booked for a strong challenge GALLAGHERS VIEW: I think Stephen Ward has done him a massive favour [to turn away from the challenge] because in my view that has got to be a foul and a yellow card.MATCH: Brighton v Burnley, SaturdayINCIDENT: Beram Kayal appeared to be stamped on by Joey Barton but the Burnley midfielder was not booked for the challenge.GALLAGHERS VERDICT: Red card Joey Barton was not sent off despite planting his studs on Beram Kayal GALLAGHERS VIEW: The pictures paint a very bad picture. He [Barton] was at it all game. I was surprised he wasnt subjected to strong disciplinary action.MATCH: Barcelona v Real Madrid, SaturdayINCIDENT: Gareth Bale was denied his first El Clasico goal after he was penalised for a foul on Jordi Alba. The Wales international wheeled away in celebration after rising above Alba to head home, only for the goal to be chalked off for a foul.GALLAGHERS VERDICT: Goal should have been awarded Gareth Bale thought he had given Real Madrid the lead at the Camp Nou but it was ruled out. Should it have stood? GALLAGHERS VIEW: I think Wes Morgans was a good goal, and this was equally a good goal. I can see very little difference in both, and they should both be given.
