      In the episode they showed a lot of older players in their 50s, 60s, and even 70s who were in very bad physical health from having played professional football. They said that if they won this case each player would only get around $10,000 so it won't really help them too much but they claim it will be a start towards being respected a little more and possible getting the union to seek more payment from other gigs in the future. They showed some grandpa in his 70s with an xbox controller in his hands showing off his cornerback character in the game whom had all of his stats exactly but a different name and jersey.
