Concussion

[Porpoise101]

Concussion is a new movie trying to show the tragedy that can happen from football (American). I haven't seen it, but I've been hearing more and more about concussion victims and how many former NFL players suffer horrible diseases. Will you watch it? What are your thoughts on safety? Is the NFL corrupt and does it neglect the health of its players?

1) I've watched the original documentary with Dr. Omalu so I probably won't see this
2) There's a reason you see young promising guys like Chris Borland retiring early out of fear for their health. Concussions are awful. I love football and I've only played at a high school level, and I've dealt with knee injuries and a concussion. The concussion was ten times worse.
3) The NFL purposely had a committee of doctors on their payroll to refute obvious evidence of the dangers of concussions, and they have quietly rescinded the millions of dollars they pledged to Boston University to fund research in concussions and CTE. The NFL is extremely corrupt.
