Rating the Movie, Concussion

[Betallsports]

Thought is was Good, and I would say that it will either be Will Smith or Leonardo DiCaprio to win Best Actor.

The story line needs to be told, and the NFL needs to listen ...

The story line needs to be told, and the NFL needs to listen ...

I'll preface this by saying that I have not seen it yet..

What exactly about the story needs to be told that we don't already know? Concussions are a huge problem in football. And all of sports. Particularly soccer, which does not get as much attention.

And we all already know some of the issues that ex-players are going through.

I think the NFL obviously knows all of this. Thus all of the rule changes to help prevent the most damaging type of hits.

Unless you stop playing the sport altogether, the problem will never completely go away.

So I'm not sure what else needs to be told. And how much more the NFL can do to make it safer. It's football. It's dangerous.

The players know the risks. Risk obviously is not great enough to most of these players to bi-pass the rewards of huge paychecks.

The NFL doesn't fully accept what's happening, you will have to see the Movie.
I didn't want to post any spoilers ... but you are right, we have heard the story. I just never read the detail's

and agree on the rule changes

Well, this thread is getting about as much love as the movie is at the box office.

<<

Guess the general public outside of those directly affected and the left wing nutters really don't care.

And I'm not taking a jab at your thread Betall.

I think it was a good conversation starter. It just seems the topic really just doesnt interest people.

Saw the movie last week and was pretty disappointed. I guess Will Smith was good, bit I wouldn't vote for him for best actor or anything.

Yeah well guess it's like in the Movie, people... I mean Football Fans don't want to hear it or talk about it.

Don't get me wrong here... Love a Good Hard Hit playing Game ust like everyone else.

Just feel bad for the Players who have gone through or Will go through this and their Families .

Will smith should stick to comedies. When he tries to play a serious role all he does is a face with a squint as if he is trying to push down a painful constipated poo.

The information is out there now. The players current players know the risks. Its just too bad that so many suffer now, who didn't really know the risks.

As far as the current players go, if risk does not equal reward, then they should stop playing. A few have.

But for most, the potential millions earned far outweigh the risks.
