How long should injured pro athletes get workers comp? (Yahoo Sports)

Should injured pro athletes be allowed to earn worker compensation benefits until they are 67 years old, like other workers, even if their athletic careers normally would have ended more than 30 years earlier? The Bears are leading other Chicago sports franchises in backing a measure that would reduce a former player's ability to tap into workers compensation after a career-ending injury. Neither the teams nor players' advocates will say how much money is at stake.
