THIS FILM IS BASED ON A TRUE STORY AND IS A VERY GOOD WATCH.
Concussion is a 2015 American biographical sports drama film written and directed by Peter Landesman, based on the exposé "Game Brain" by Jeanne Marie Laskas, published in 2009 by GQ magazine.[6] Set during the 2000s, the film stars Will Smith as Bennet Omalu, a forensic pathologist who fights against the National Football League trying to suppress his research on chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) brain degeneration suffered by professional football players.
Lynibis ...Thank you for the recommendation, I'm sure my partner, daughter & I would like to watch Concussion & find it interesting, sooo sad what's happening to our sportsmen ..
Lynibis I watched this a few months ago, it was really good, and it just shows how sports organisations cover things up
So sad to read. My mum had dementia and it's genuinely so heartbreaking to watch them
I still cannot believe someone hasn't invented something to go over a footballers head to cushion the ball when it impacts .
You have the same with boxers, they only use this type of thing in training, not in live events and they are also prone to head trauma
Such a horrible cond
but it always takes someone famous to get in the news. Let’s hope this gives it more credibility
I am shocked to hear this about Dean Windass, great player for Sheffield United , I didn't think he was as old as he is, sad news
martinlufc5637 time goes so fast, crazy how he’s that age already. Still remember his goal for Hull, unbelievable goal 
xKJG93 yeah I wasn't expecting him to be 55, sad that someone this age has this condition
I have worked with many sufferers of dementia and it plays out differently with everyone.It's always sad to watch the deterioration and death of loved ones.
MelissaLee1 ...Yes,I'm currently working with someone who has Vascular Dementia, so sad to see the decline in this bright individual who loved Gardening & Drawing ,he still loves a Dance though so I dance regularly with him,no matter what time he choses, the smile on his face tells me everything !
