Concussion*(2015) - Rotten Tomatoes
I just saw it recently myself and it was quite the eye-opener.

I'm not really sure if I knew this at the time, whether I would have not played from 6th grade through high school, but it would certainly have made me think three times before I had let my boys play.

What's sad is some of the talking heads who attack those who even bring up the subject as being anti-American and using it as supposed another example of the 'Wussification of America.'

In spite of the spate of good people who become violent and suicidal at such a young age.

Too much money and the future of pro football is at stake, so of course the NFL's line will be to try and obfuscate and downplay it.

It's analogous to the tobacco industry that lied about their own research showing the serious known harms of smoking, long before finally being forced to admit it publicly and pay up.
