That stupid Will Smith movie attacking the NFL - "concussion"
Posted on 12/13/15 at 3:57 am

Anyone plan on lining up early on opening night to catch this masterpiece? I might. I can't wait to drink this in.
I want to learn about the evil NFL corporation taking advantage of lower class men like slave drivers for profit. I want to fully embrace the realities of the millennial world view that contact sports are unsafe and dastardly. I want to bask in the knowledge that men should no longer be men, that we should rather bobble around in the Kardashianish pools of gender ambiguity. I want to learn more about the corrupt corporations run by sleazy, greedy white men...to not escape into my imagination...but rather embrace the raw reality of the mundane.
That's what I call entertainment.

It actually may be a good movie. I'm not much of a Will Smith fan and I think his accent will get to me, but I might check it out.

You forgot about the part where the NFL tries to murder the brain doctor. Am I the only one who saw that in the previews?

The NFL covered up thier knowledge on the issues of concussions. It is the sake thing that big tobacco did with cancer links to smoking.
Thier is norhing manly about the longer term effects of brain injuries and what they can do to a family. You must be a Trump suporter.

What, like set them up for generations financially?
There were two roads I could've taken with my response. I chose the high road . Somebody will be along shortly to take the other path.

What about the longer term effects of multi-generational wealth for the same family? Did all those guys standing up on stage last night in the Heisman fraternity look mentally impaired? Do you think they regret playing? Do you think Troy Aikmen regrets taking all those blindside hits if it meant not being in the position he is today? That guy took more concussive-like hits than anybody I've ever seen.
Danny Kanell is right. This is an agenda to destroy the sport of football by some very powerful people. How head injuries are not implicit in playing the sport I have no idea, but this is all pretty amazing to watch unfold.

Don't forget the NFL tried to blackball the Dr, calling him a witch doctor. Its the very essence of an evil corporation trying to prevent reality from being showed. Yes football is a contact sport, the problems occur when the nfl doesn't take player health seriously by hiring unqualified people for medical positions, tries to cover-up medical problems and when that doesn't work try to destroy people's reputation.

1. the studies are publicly available
2. it's not the NFL's job. that is the job of the NFLPA. if there is a "villain", it's the union whose duty is to protec the players

how can you cover up public studies?
why didn't the NFLPA find the research and protect the players?

You and Danny are idiots. There are multiple ways to build wealth without having CTE, strokes, paralysis, etc. It's about providing the correct information to parents and potential participants so they can decide to play.

if only there was a group who the players chose to protect them and negotiate for their benefits and the associated safety regulations on their behalf. if only this magical group would engaged in legally-binding collective bargaining with the NFL every couple of years to ensure issues like this were brought up on behalf of the players and a new deal was negotiated. if only...

Has there been a study seeing whether testosterone is linked to early onset dementia? Always wondered about that.
Just googled and found evidence linking
LOW test to dementia.
Hmm. What happens to test levels in adults who took steroids all the time as younger adults?

What does the nflpa have to do with the league covering up potential player risks. Do you have proof they knew about all the medical risks yet ignored them?

What is the evidence of "cover up"? I think I have seen evidence of attempts to criticize publicly available studies.
