The movie the NFL doesn't want you to see.
James Klatt well NFL nowadays have different rules of tackling
Ellie5621 I’m in football right now and when I make a tackle I go way down to prevent getting hit on the helmet
@Ellie5621 well for starters, people risk their body playing football for their families and for success.
@Ellie5621 this isnt MMA, they cant throw a Sparta kick at you.
I watched this movie my sophomore year of high school. I played from 3rd grade until my senior year, D Tackle. Head contact every play just like he said in this movie. Never had a concussion never even had a headache after any of the games. When on to play 1 season in D2 and quit after the first year because I have other plans. Realized football wasn’t gonna last much longer so I figured why keep going. CTE is real for sure. But all these people playing football know that but they’re passionate about the game so don’t take that from them. Who tf is anybody to tell someone what they can and can’t do with their life. These people are sitting at home alive, while everyone passionate about playing footbalm live! are out there living. Let them live!
The discovery of CTE was one of the most amazing, and horrifying, medical discoveries of the last 50 years.
PANDAS is up there
How about COVID?
@@RachelDavis705 Not really as bad. There's lots of coronavirus strains, we just happened to stumble upon another one, but with CTE it seemed like it was an attempt on the game itself when in reality its just a horrible medical condition that killed players
@@RachelDavis705 really????
Okey would you rather have Covid or CTE?
Also CTE existed for decades and was discovered.
Covid came into existence and spread in such a way that it’s hard to call it a discovery.
Covid announced its own existence.
It’s like somebody discovering an earthquake……
@@unknown_individual7050 We know CTE exists and you can easily avoid it. Kind of hard to avoid an airborne virus that managed to kill 5 million people in less than two years. Duh.
I played Center...
I cried when I watched this....and I discovered post concussion syndrome just a few years before this movie came out. Finally...after 20 years. So many questions were finally answered. Along with doctor visits, everything made sense and I was able to live my life for once. Instead of always asking why.....
F
God bless you brother, I hope you're doing great now.
Lies again? Doctor Ugly
I'm sorry you've had to endure thati can't even imagine
That's a really rough position to play as my friend.
I was wide receiver when I played football in middle school and high school so many years ago and I've taken my fair share of hits as well.
Daily practices were no exception but when I stop and think about it, playing that sport definitely helped to build character and respect for others.
Antonio brown explained in under 150 seconds
Destroyed his mental health...
Oshony facts
I agree
Hernandez too, possibly Ray Rice. And outside football we've got Chris Benoit, Dave Mirra, etc., etc...
@@gengarale9554 What about boxing?
I love football but it makes me sick that the NFL wouldn't make rules to protect players just to save money.
Flapjack the American penguin They have made a lot of rules to reduce head trauma (removed kickoffs, heavy fines/penalties for leading with helmet, concussion protocol before resuming play, less hitting during training camp) but at the end of the day it's still football. These guys know what they are getting into.
James Bayly yeah I knew that but it’s still really sad to see that they denied that stuff for as long as they did.
James Bayly The only reason that have all those rules are because of this man. He was the one who made it public, but as the original commenter said they do it to save money since they know that less people will play and it will mean spending more. These rules haven't been around since the beginning, they're very recent
Makes no sense for a multi-billions compagnie to not protect his best assets...the players ! That is not good economy or good for the image of the league...In hockey, when a player suffer a potential concussion in a game, the new rules remove him from the entire period to test him...if he fail, he is remove from the game for his safety...They should do something similar in football after a certain amount of hit in a game...That way the players would play a longer and more spectacular carrer and if they have a concussion, that would give a chance for new players to play ( which could give us great discovery !! )...It would be great for the league ! They have to do more !
Ji-pi Doyon lol the NFL considers the owners its assets not players
I can't believe they needed a doctor to "discover" that smashing the shit out of your head (or the rest of your body) is bad for you
Wotsma Naym they had a doctor find out what these hits really did......
how come u didn’t discover i️t then?
I think it’s different because u have equipment on that keeps u safe
its not just the concussions though. Simple movements of momentum are amplified when you’re wearing a helmet.
@@blacknoir607 depends on velocity impact to head
Notice how this movie is NEVER on Netflix. Hulu, HBO, Showtime etc....it has been buried.
Will Smith was great but I can hear his accent go away in certain words
Noah Cho
Oddly enough, if his accent goes away then he will sound more like the real Dr. Omalu who has a far more American accent than Smith portrays.
Roy Staggers you’re just upset because you’re black lmao
I also. noticed Will Smith’s accent come and go. The real Dr. Amalu’s accent is consistent.
His accent also is nothing like the dudes actual accent. Hes doing a super thick nigerian accent for some reason. The real Dr. sounds american w/ hints of nigerian sprinkled in lol
Here in Brazil the name of this film "movie" was not called concussion, the film "movie" was called "a man against giants". For us this doctor seemed to fight like David against Goliath. Those responsible for distributing the film in Brazil decided to change the name of the film "movie". Beautiful movie.
As a Steelers fan this was sad to watch. I remember when Mike Webster died.
I read the article that ESPN published about his mental decline in 2005, it was one of the most tragic things I have ever read. No good person deserves to go through what Mike Webster did.
@@alec1115 I'm worried about ben. Dang 5 concussion s. We as fans need to say, bring in the 3rd or 4th string. Lol give our guys a break💕
I remember reading about Dave Duerson one day and this was years before this movie came out. It’s so sad to see what happens to them. Then Junior Seau was in 2012:(
Chuck Adams The 30 for 30 on Junior was TOO Depressing to watch. He literally died a broken man😢😢😢😢
If ever there was a man that was made to play football . . . that man was Mike Webster. Unfortunately, football was not good enough to him.
I played football as a lineman in 02, 05 and 06. I took some beatings back in 05 and 06 (high school) and after watching this movie and looking up on CTE, I'm a little scared of what could possibly happen down the road. I am going to put it in my WILL that if I ever start showing symptoms like these I want my brain to be donated so my fam can get answers and, if possible, to put me down so I don't have to suffer this sad disease. I would rather die quiet and peacefully rather than a painful heart attack or suicide.
That is very courageous and intelligent move on your part ! I wish more would do that not only to confirm how CTE happens but find solutions how to reduce the risks and make the sport safer for the head of player while not removing what makes it great ! Athletes should not be at risk of diying and losing their minds for the sport they love...
Do you still play football?
+L.S.A No, I pretty much retired from playing football after high school. Even though I haven't played in years, it is said that symptoms take years to show. Just from those years of playing both offense and defensive line and taking some rough head butts in both practice and Friday night games, I'm scared that the damage is done and only a matter of time way down the road.
SuperGomez59 its better you stopped now. At least now your brain and body can rest from further damage. I think you'll be fine
SuperGomez59 dont worry brother ive been boxing for over 10 years and some of the beatings ive taken have not been pretty countles broken bones and damage to my gut and stomach and skull and the doctors have said i have no reason to not be able to lead a normal life
Shame Dr. Omalu never truly got the credit he deserved
At least he gets a film.
I don't get it why are all these other guys so hostile and critical of him? He's telling them the truth.
Sorry im 3 days late, I read the book and it's because this is a time of prejeduce and because he is from Kenya, not knowing about football, and talking down to these other doctors that their national sport (very beloved to them) is actually killing the players. To them it might seem like he is talking mad trash or is talking down to them when he is really telling the truth from obvious studies. These doctors might also be NFL doctors because they are hiding the fact that this exist. If the doctors were to release their studies to the media aswell they would receive about 100 law suits from the NFL for slander also.
The truth is like vaccines, it hurts and people hate being wrong.
Corek BleedingHollow people tend to deny the truth, and curse the one who reveals it.
$$$$$$
Myk McGrane exactly
Bet the NFL heads did not want this film made, seriously this films needs more attention.
After numerous years of football this movie has me O_O
Craig Colby it will become flag football no more contact at all
Craig Colby the future is they’re bringing back XFL
Not every player develops CTE so you might be fine.
suburbannegro411 how is your brain feeling?
Hopefully the future of football is to become more like rugby, no helmets, a lot less padding, proper tackling form, etc... you'd think it would be more dangerous, but it's actually a lot safer than football. If you spearhead your head into someone else, it will hurt you, and you won't do it again, so it forces you to tackle right. Helmets allow you to spearhead and while it doesn't "hurt hurt", it still causes the brain to bounce around and shake you up, breaking itself down over time as the hits keep coming, with the worst being linemen banging their helmets against each other every snap.
This movie is based on the true story of Bennet Omaly, MD a man who prayed over bodies he dissected during an autopsy. His career ended up in Stockton, California as the City Coroner. My son played football in High School at St Mary's and Lincoln High. There were questions as to why he died so an autopsy was performed by Dr Bennet Omaly. I praise God for the heart and mind he gifted Dr Omaly. Great film which I watched on the one year anniversary of my son Jason Newell died. There are no accidents, only divine appointments predestined by our Father, our Creator, God Almighty. Look to Jesus for your answers. AMEN
Amen
Long Live Jason Newell
I worked at a pathology company in Modesto, CA (YPMG) and I would process brain autopsies for Dr Omaly! He doesn’t work for San Joaquin County anymore but he owns his own practice. Just an amazing person, his work has changed the lives of many. God bless.
Sorry for your loss.
Sorry for your loss.
Will Smith out here advocating against physically harming others. What a legend!
Stooop 😂
Stop 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
That's scary and sad to think about. The mind being strangled comment and not recognizing even yourself. I can't even fathom that.
All I thought about was the Benoit tragedy after this scene
Who is here after seeing Tua last night?
Modern day gladiator ship
To prepare for the movie, Will Smith and writer-director Peter Landesman observed autopsies, including two done by Dr. Bennet Omalu.
It’s the same thing in boxing. The head/brain gets punched with terrible force continuously for 10/15 years.
It's not the same. Boxing matches are not consistent day after day like Football.
@@MrLobo1024 Guys spar just about everyday though
@@rickylugo9025I’ve seen less suicides in boxing for some reason.
After watching this movie I'm grateful that my head coach in high school football did not let me play My Junior and senior year in high school I had too many concussions and I would not go to practice sometimes and then I will go to practice after a couple days coach will be upset to the point where he kicked me off the team and now I thank him for that
@Hq suck out
I did a research paper on mike Webster In college he suffered a lot towards the end of his life it’s really sad.
Yes he did so sad he did not even know who he was at times he would forget his own way home his wife would find him days later lost and confused so sad 🤦♀️😭😓
What did he go through?
Here cause of Tua
It's well understood that CTE can be induced by multiple concussions. For any of you interested the tau tangles that form following concussions are similar to those found in PTSD. Pretty crazy stuff.
legoman7041 Not at all, it's the multiple subconcussive Blows, not the concussions.
how is there any correlation between PTSD and CTE, one is a psychological condition akin to depression the other is a neurological degenerative disease similar to dementia or Ahlzaimer's
@@theaverageitaliandon998 PTSD is the stress aspect, but for blast-induced PTSD you can induce neurodegeneration that leads to the formation of Tau tangles.
@@legoman7041 I’m pretty sure that’s just CTE in soldiers man, especially in guys that were in a blast or used heavy weaponry
@@theaverageitaliandon998 I guess I should have specified in my original comment
Yeah I played football for three years. When I did I was 6’0” and 185 lbs and the coaches thought it would be a good idea to put me at center. After going up against players that were almost 100 lbs heavier than me I thought it was a good idea to stop playing lol
Same. Lol. I was small, about 150 lbs, but too slow to play back or receiver. Played center because I was able to read defensive schemes pretty well and make line calls, and also I was crazy enough not to care if I got hit hard, I wore it like a badge of honor. Sophomore year was my last year playing, I stopped before moving on to varsity. He never said so, but I think my dad was actually relieved. My son is a lot taller than I was, but still pretty skinny. He played receiver and defensive back from when he was 8 till he was 15, but stopped after his freshman year.
@@ericruiz1036 why did he stop after his freshman year? He was just getting started
@@krestainwatsonjr. Stopped being fun for him, he didn't get very much playing time on the freshman team although he was better at receiver in every measurable way than the starter, took a bad elbow injury, coaching staff blamed him for mistakes they made, all around just didn't want to go through it anymore. Committed himself 100% to hoops, made 4 years varsity, all region as a junior and is looking at multiple college rides.
I honestly can't tell if his accent is correct or not, which I heard made a lot of people pissed, but Will is still giving a solid performance here.
Hey it's better than John Malkovich's disaster of a Russian accent
@Igbo Thunder Its a very late reply and I've only just seen this. I know how Nigerians speak and Dr Omalu did not have the typical Nigerian accent, go hear him speak in the documentary and you can see where Will Smith is going with it.
you can tell he's an american trying to imitate a nigerian accent but that's just the nigerian in me talking. from an objective point of view, he did a pretty solid job.
mide Ibk no he didn't lol. He sounds like a parody of a random African accent
As I’m a Nigerian, his accent is not correct.
0:38 you can already tell they were trying to make an excuse to pretend that Omalu doesn't know what he's talking about
1:53 They know. They know he's right, and they still try and smoke him out. Disgusting.
As another overhyped Superbowl begins, let's remember all the victims of CTE past, present, and future,
Any Given Sunday, North Dallas Forty and Concussion: The three movies that the NFL hates with a passion.
North Dallas Forty is the best _dark side_ football movie IMO
@@zigwil153 It was 30 Years ahead of its time.
Underrated movie. I never understood the hate Will got for this performance. It might not be the most perfect Nigerian accent, but it was convincing enough that I totally bought it. Oscar-worthy? No. Nomination-worthy? I'd say so.
That's Hancock and that bad guy in the movie Hancock in in this movie in the same scene
All of us former collegiate football players not good enough to make it to the next level should be thankful for that.
I'm gonna watch this movie after Antonio Brown left during the Jets game today. I may have a mild form of CTE as I played football thru high school and then was concussed years later from a non football hit
What’s scarier is now we are seeing the same thing in luge and bobsled even constant tiny vibration is enough to damage the brain. I think we really overestimated how well the cerebral fluid protects the brain in general
One of the most underrated performances ever. Smith's performance is mesmerizing. At times I found myself wondering who the actor was, only to chuckle when I remembered it was Smith.
Tua.......
Modern day gladiator ship
@@iyahnwisher Perfect........Fact!!!!
People should be aware that contact sports reduces your life span. However, making the choice to play professionally knowing this could be worth it for the compensation depending on the person.
I agree with your assessment. Risk vs. reward.
Seen interviews with the real Dr. Omalu. The man is a freakin' legend.
I stopped watching football when I learned about what it did to the players. I encourage everyone else to do the same.
I’m glad I’ve never watched or played and even more reason not to thanks to medical research that has surfaced in recent years.
Will smith should have won a oscar for this he has come a long long way so since fresh prince
No doubt
His acting is absolutely shit here
How do u know? Can u act?
As a big film enthusiast who appreciates quality acting when I see it, I can't say this performance is particularly impressive. I'll admit I'm not a big Will Smith fan to begin with but besides that, I simply never bought him as the humble, ambitious Nigerian doctor Omalu was.
Even ignoring his rather unconvincing accent, I couldn't help but wonder what an actor of African decent would have done in the role: My mind goes to someone like Daniel Kaluuya, or even better David Oyelowo. Smith hits the right notes with this performance but its nothing I haven't seen him do before, or anything I couldn't imagine someone else doing better.
So in terms of it being oscar worthy?.. I say no. I did like him more than Eddie Redmayne's nominated work in "The Danish Girl", but thats not saying much since I don't hold either performance in high regard. And as far as the "oscars so white" movement that swept that year, I do think there was a worthy black nominee in the crowd.. Michael B Jordan for "Creed".
No, its bad acting who cares about his past.
I love Will Smith, I truly do. But I disagree with the people that say he "nailed" his Nigerian accent. I was born in North America and I don't exactly have a Nigerian accent because of where I was raised, but I'm not white, I came from a Nigerian background. So I would know a Nigerian accent when I hear it. Most of the people that will agree with the people who say he nailed his Nigerian accent are the people that have either never heard a Nigerian speak or the people that don't come from an African background.
i don't think he particularly nailed his nigerian accent but watching the trailer and just by hearing him speak in the movie before i realized the character he's playing was based off a nigerian man, i could tel he was trying to imitate a nigerian accent so i would say he did a pretty solid job. there are parts where he loses the accent but it just add to the authenticity more than anything because there are times when you're able to pronounce some words more "american" like. also, i grew up in nigeria and spent nine years of my life there before immigrating to canada. while my nigerian accent has significantly reduced, my parents have not so im still pretty much surrounded by it.
So I saw this movie last night and it is one of the best movies I ever saw so insightful and and with my son being the star quarterback of his team averaging 3 touchdowns a game it looks like he has a promising football career but this movie literally has me thinking of pulling him off the team
Rules are much different now than they were back then. Quarterbacks today enjoy a long and prosperous career even in the NFL. Its the safest position in football second to kickers and punters. Just dont tell him to run the ball and tell him to make sure he braces for impact when someone's trying to hit him. Blindside hits are the most dangerous.
This was a great movie, and also shows just how goddamn corrupt the whole system is.
ANYTHING that threatens the moneymaking of football, is dealt with swiftly by any means necessary .
Dreez76 It’s not just the money. People love football. Absolutely love it
Blame the fans as well. If you're a fan, don't walk around with moral superiority - your money and views keep the NFL in business.
I wished Will Smith would keep doing serious roles like this.
He's done quite alot of serious movies over the last decade or so more than comedy/action films I think
I wasn’t particularly excited to watch concussion, but after seeing it, it’s now a movie I try to tell everyone to watch, especially football fans.
Such a powerful scene
I loved this movie but I wished it was focused on not just football Pro Wrestling too Chris Benoit was said to have the worst of everyone with cte even Boxers
Yeah, that's a good point
Yeah makes me sick how the WWE ignored Benoit case
The Night Stalker and hockey players
@@footba11fan41ife Chris nowinski accepted money from the wwe I recently watched a interview with David benoit and to me it seems suspicious
Not to be funny or anything I’m truly curious how can wrestlers get CTE when it’s fake?
--BULL IN THE RING..... who here that played pee wee football all the way up to high school has gone thru this explosive football practice drill?????? We did BULL IN THE RING every day at practice since I was a kid, this was a super violent drill that had many of us seeing stars and some times getting knocked out
I was supposed to play football in high school but I was afraid of hurting my neck so I didn't play. Little did I know that was to be the least of my problem had I played. I keep my kids away from football, hockey and boxing.
Eddie DeJesus And Soccer?
They were never interested in soccer. BUT, 2 of my boys have been stoning me about boxing lately. Ok, maybe for self defense.
Self defense cool but don't let em fight man it's not worth taking the risk of losing there mental health in there later years .
Watching this while concusses
Its so sad imagine being mike homless selling ring for his family were was his team mates coaches when he needed them
How many Football players young and in their prime retired? Coincidence? Nope that performance set although not acclaimed in the press touched a nerve in real life all do to the performance by Will Smith😎
His acting was so good I forgot he was even actually Will Smith.
Imagine if they had cast Boseman in the role
I had to ask the person I was watching it with."is that Will Smith? We had to look up who it was.
Some doctors still go out of they're way to bash this guy and try and try and make him look like a quack
I’m a big football fan but after I watched this movie it was harder for me to watch the game. I can’t imagine years in the future to what will happen to these big name guys in the league.
This makes me incredibly scared for people like Nick mangold or Kevin mawae
Just listening to this gives me a headache
You gotta admit Will Smith nailed that Nigerian accent.
Ben Lucier not really
j2323j foreal tho, you can hear his accent slip
chino_sosa Not only that, but the guy he's playing sounds nothing like that. Will would've been closer if he'd just used his regular voice.
Now that I watch this clip again, I can see it slip. But overall, I thought he did vey good. Should've at least been nominated though.
Ben Lucier Certainly deserved a nomination over Bradley Cooper and Steve Carrell. It's funny, Carrell did the same "silly accent" pandering and got his nomination, and Will didn't.
Took my mom to see this movie before my senior year of football, when I played every single snap at center. She enjoyed it.
@Chase Mcdude lol
I’m sure football is ultimately terrible for your body but it will never be banned!because there is way too much money involved to do that
The NFL will start blaming "the other guy" Doctors, Coaches, Trainers and maybe players but not themselves.
THIS IS THE NFL'S NIGHTMARE
Very powerful I new a lot about this back 05
Before I watched this movie, I played 3 seasons as a great center, and Ioved that job. Then 9th grade i dislocated
MY shoulder. I had dreams to be a center for a major college team...after watching this...I'm glad i didnt
Now I know why the NFL hates science
Concussion based on a true story...
Of Will Smith slappin the pp out of Chris Rock.😂🤣
I’ve loved and played football since I was 10 years old but now that I’m 18 years old, I agree with Dr. Omalu 100% percent. Football is exactly how Dr. Omalu described: An unremitting storm of sub-concussive blows. People think that the big hits are the main problem but its the quantity of smaller hits that do arguably worse damage to the brain over time. Football can try to take the “big hits” out of the game but the sub-concussive blows will always be a part of the game. You cannot justify that football is safe nor will it ever become safe. Football has killed too many men for me to support it ever again. Dr. Omalu said it best, “God did not intend for us to play football.”
Man Idc it’s a man’s game for a reason if your not willing to die on the field you got no place being on it
I was always afraid when I played organized football. Turns out this movie proves I was right to be.
I only played tackle football one season as a kid but after that one year I stopped because I figured out that football wasn’t for me, after seeing this movie I’m glad I didn’t continue on.
I think CTE helps explain what happened with OJ Simpson
American football like boxing will be Ignored and eventually will fade away. Play smart, not hard.
Khris Khristie boxing is not ignored in America it's one of our favorite sports?
Yep and it will happen sooner than we think. Tennis anyone?
People say boxing is just as bad, but they fight 2-3 times year
Football is every week for 4 months.
Calm down floyd vs connor generated 100 million dollars if not more
19Raspi90 Actually, Tennis imo is the most entertaining sport to watch.
Rest In Peace Mike Webster.
I never will never know how life with normal brain would of been like.
Will do exceptional in every role he plays
its awesome film to watch with a very sad story to tell
Will Smith from comedy to serious dramas and he can rap dude deserves everything he has. But I heard a slip up in his accent he was doing there lol. I need to watch this movie.
To be fair, it's kinda difficult to hold an accent throughout a whole film that you're the star in, lol
I wonder how many G's this doctor generated when he slapped Chris Rock
Did you hear that? 70,000 blows to the head 🤔 now I love football and I will always watch it but more needs to be done for the players !!
The guy in the dark Jacket was a bad guy in Hancock
What do all of these doctors, scientists and medical experts know anyway? Haven't they read Merril Hoge?
I came here after a “buzzfeed unsolved case of oj simpson” cuz they talked to the actual dr👀
When i started play football i was conscious that the blows in the head would cause mental illnes to me. I did not needed any film, or scientists, or medic to know that. I have taken my responsibility (just like any boxer) and after 4 years i gave up, the risk was too high and i had fun. All football players know what they're gonna suffer, it's a decision who compete only with them.
the point isn't that they shouldn't play because of this illness its that every player who makes that decision should be aware of the risks I mean good for you for figuring it out for yourself but no everyone is aware and there arguing that they need too.
nah dude that’s bullshit the 10 years I played including some college. I had no idea i’d be likely receiving permanent irreversible brain damage. most people didn’t know this.
footba11fan41ife no youre just dumb for not realizing lmao. anyone with common sense should realize “man im getting hit in the head a lot, maybe as i get older it will start to affect me more” smh
This is happening in Nascar right now
My head hurts just watching this scene
Yes! The other team!!!
After watching this movie and league of denial I can't bring myself to watch football again
Im not a fan of rap music and rappers turning into actors BUT I love Will Smith as an actor.
What are you talking about ?
The issue with Christ beniot too, classic movie this was
You tackle with your head first if you want be successful especially if your an undersized speedster.
I thought that this guy was an evil gangster threatening the two.
He is a good doctor, he inspired me to be doctor
Better helmets to absorb the shock
Aussie Rules football & Rugby don't have helmets, neither do the players have long-term problems like CTE.
@@starguy2718 Ummm yeah they do.
I as a viewer, fan/consumer of the NFL also have the fault, cause I buy a product knowing what happens.
WOW!!
Just think back when Ronny Lott and Steve Atwater and that big hitter with Oakland Hayes (I think) and Taylor with the giants and so many more use to live for destroying receivers and backs all for the fans and the love of the game , I like what Bo Jackson said if asked by a athlete what sport to excel at and he said golf or baseball
Football helmet technology is so much better than it was back then. Risks are still there but they are significantly lower than they were back then
Julian Wright Bullshit
I always hated football
Football should have some drastic rule change and other head-combat sports.
