121 Receive Disability Benefits-Maybe by Bernie Parrish
The “Truth Squad” says I erred by only reporting the 121 disability recipients listed on theSupplemental Disability Plan. The “Truth Squad” says I
“erred”, I “erred”…
really.
There is no tax, or any other reports on the number of disability recipients. The mostprominent numbers are the phony ones that come from the NFLPA and NFLPA attorney DougEll in perjured testimony to Congress. The auditors of the retirement and disability plan, theBert Bell/Pete Rozelle NFL Retirement Plan do not list the number of beneficiaries covered, orany amount, not $20 million or any other amount paid to disabled beneficiaries. No number ofretirement beneficiaries or disabled beneficiaries is listed in their strange incomplete audit,
only the total “Benefits Payments” are listed at $53,332,266 for 2006, $50,581,207 for 2005, and
$49,030,378 for 2004. No number of retirement beneficiaries is listed in any Bert Bell/PeteRozelle NFL Retirement Plan audit by Abrams, Foster, Nole, & Williams, P.A. And no number
of disabled recipients is listed in the Abram’s audits, ever.Dennis Curran, Greg Aiello, Harold Henderson, Roger Goodell, Carl Francis and Lanny Davis’“Truth Squad” all scatter self serving claims of $20 mil
lion or just under $20 million a year ispaid to 90, 106, 121, 130, 284, 317, or 428 disabled NFL players, only 4 of whom are disabledwith concussion or brain injuries out of the over 13,000 living who have played in the NFL.
The Abram’s audit doesn’t ci
te or even mention $20 million of disability benefits, or any of thenumbers strewed about by the NFL propagandist, let alone who it is actually supposed to be
paid to. I believe we have an action against Abram’s et al for the piece of _____ they call a“Financial Statement and Independent Auditors Report.” We didn’t get an audit; we got
another NFL propaganda piece.
