Senate LEADER Reid with Brent Boyd.
The last Senate session before last year's Super Bowl, Senate LEADER Harry Reid gave a speech on behalf of NFL retirees on the Senate Floor; an historic first for NFL retiree's issues
Senate Leader Harry Reid CARES about you, the NFL retiree and your family
Senate Leader Harry Reid cares and will fight for you, the NFL retiree and your families! m the speech---first time our issues have been brought to the Senate FLOOR-
“But Brent Boyd and so many others like him still suffer the pain of their injuries
and still struggle to pay their bills on far less disability assistance than they deserve.
In the coming weeks, I will work with the NFL and Players’ Association and other retirees to ensure that progress is being made.
If needed, we will call for more hearings.
“As the bright lights shine on Super Bowl XLII this Sunday,
I want Brent
and his injured brothers to know that they are not fighting in the shadows.
They deserve a spotlight too.”
by Sen. Harry Reid
