Concussion

The story of how concussions have changed the game of football is nothing short of a captivating one. The film Concussion attempts to tell the story of how Bennett Omalu did an autopsy on retiered football player Mike Webster (David Morse), who for apparently no reason lost his mind. It is dicovered that a protein was released causing the issue. The findings were published in a popular medical journal. The NFL did everything in its power to kill the article. As more players started to die, it became harder to deny.
   There has been thought that the film was dumb down to not make the NFL mad. I'm not sure that it was changed to more that it was not as brutal as it could be.
