Concussion
A dramatic thriller based on the incredible true David vs. Goliath story of American immigrant Dr. Bennet Omalu, the brilliant forensic neuropathologist who made the first discovery of CTE, a football-related brain trauma, in a pro player and fought for the truth to be known. Omalu's emotional quest puts him at dangerous odds with one of the most powerful institutions in the world. From TMDB

unlabelledView post →We focus here on Josh Begley’s exceptional short film *Concussion Protocol,* which brilliantly documented and depicted every concussion in an NFL season. What kind of impact can such a film have on football fans? m.youtube.com/watch?v=r51a...
unlabelledView post →I’m old enough to remember Concussion, the Will Smith movie about this, and nothing changed.
unlabelledView post →Since watching the movie Concussion I realized that CTE would be the death knell of pro football as we know it. Using one's head as a battering ram is not something the human body can tolerate. Turning off the TV on the weekend is the path I take to fight this. I've done without the NFL for 20 yrs.
unlabelledView post →I didn't really know about CTE until I saw the 2015 movie Concussion. The scariest thing though is it can possibly start years before players are pro, Pop Warner leagues are able to have players as young as 5 years old so very young players are able to start that horror early 😱
unlabelledView post →There's also a great film on this subject based on a true story of an African immigrant Dr who fought to have the condition recognised as a risk to football players Concussion stars Will Smith and is produced by Ridley Scott It's well worth watching Makes you think🤔 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concuss...
unlabelledView post →The movie, Concussion, really changed how I looked at the game of football. I refused to let my son play bc of the consequences of concussions on developing brains. I don't wish CTE on anyone. CTE is a horrible diseaes that has already taken many lives through self harm.

unlabelledView post →i stopped watching pro Football soon after watching "Concussion". The damn film took all the fun out of watching big strong men crush each other's skulls for money & glory.
unlabelledView post →It’s easy for me since I have basically disliked football since I was born… but I wouldn’t give those people one cent …. And I would never look back! Remember the movie “Concussion”- the NFL attorneys were from the same FIRM as those hired by big tobacco.
unlabelledView post →I saw the movie Concussion and look at the stories of Chris Benoit and Aaron Hernandez and think these sports just aren’t worth it.
unlabelledView post →The film *Concussion Protocol* caused some students to reevaluate their relationship with the sport of football. journals.sagepub.com/doi/epub/10....
unlabelledView post →I stopped following the NFL about 11 years ago after seeing the movie “Concussion.” I’m just one person, but I’m doing my part.
unlabelledView post →The 2015 movie “Concussion” caused me not to watch NFL games anymore. It also made me wonder why some parents let their children play tackle football. It’s good to have this extra data.
unlabelledView post →lifelong yinzer watching Concussion and this depiction of #Pittsburgh is funny af I don't think a single day in this film has been gray as shit. We get as many sunny days as Seattle. At one point this man was driving on the interchanges by the stadiums and smiling. This has never happened. Ever.

unlabelledView post →OK, but what Will Smith movie would be the funniest for him to rap about the plot over the credits? First thought: Concussion
unlabelledView post →Recall 2015, Will Smith, Alec Baldwin film, "Concussion?" That's where film begins with real life Pittsburgh Steelers lineman Mike Webster shoots himself dead due to then undiagnosed Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy, in plain English, repeated brain injury, memory loss. No one plays to die this way.

unlabelledView post →I'll never ever forget Will Smith's "Nigerian" accent in that Concussion movie. Nigga sounded actually concussed.
unlabelledView post →I stopped watching all football after the movie Concussion. I can't watch those boys bang their heads together knowing full well what's happening. And when I think of OJ Simpson $10 million he had CTE
unlabelledView post →I saw the movie CONCUSSION and it made me realize that the NFL was hiding the long term effects of head-to-head contact even after offering better helmets. I stopped watching all foootball (college, NFL, CFL) because it's like watching the Christians vs lions in Rome. You are cheering for death. No.
unlabelledView post →It's crazy. Jeanne Marie Laskas wrote her expose 'Game Brain' about CTE for GQ in 2009. Hell, Will Smith's movie 'Concussion' came out in 2015! Every US parent should have to watch that movie before they make a decision about allowing their boys to play football.

unlabelledView post →Bob Costas wanted to address the “Concussion” movie during NBC’s pregame show and was told absolutely not. Then he brought up football causing brain damage during a forum and NBC cut ties with him (he has since returned for NBA and MLB coverage).
unlabelledView post →In 2015 Will Smith starred in a movie called ‘Concussion’ while the NFL dealt with various CTE lawsuits and made big changes. In 10 years MAGA rhetoric brought us here 👇

unlabelledView post →I'll be really annoyed if the media gets a movie made about the "Biden coverup" that's either played straight in the vein of "Kill the Messenger/Concussion/Spotlight" or having Adam McKay do it in his own patronizing bullshit way.
unlabelledView post →I love both of those. And Concussion. That movie haunts me. He was also good in I Am Legend but the dig does and I can't with any movie where the beloved pet dies.

unlabelledView post →I still wish they could've found a Nigerian actor to play Dr Bennet Omalu in Concussion, but Ithink only Will Smith had the star power to get the viewership the film gained
unlabelledView post →This is going to be a bit of a rant. I watched the movie Concussion in 2015. Today I'm watching a documentary on CTE and how it's affecting the NFL. So many players have trauma to their brains from playing football.!

unlabelledView post →Did you see the Will Smith movie about Concussion? Sports gives quite a few concussions. People falling in showers means if they only had a grab bar, more people would be with it. A grab bar costs how much?
