Dr. Omalu should be awarded the Nobel prize for his findings.

This guy is an angel shining light on the dark secrets of the nfl. His discovery wasn't an accident.

Concussion was amazing. This guy helped change the game. I applaud his courage and will to sacrifice for what he believed. More movies should chronicle these kind of people who change the world we live in. God bless.

As someone suffering from this disease I want to thank you for everything you've done for people like me

The 1 dislike is Roger Goodell

What a man... Proof that the sky is not the limit,, It doesnt matter were you come from, your race or anything. Passion and love for what you do is key,, Great respect. Cant wait to see the movie. God Bless You dr Omalu.

It is interesting how quickly the "movie" was scooted out of mainstream theaters.... It is an awesome movie with a huge revelation about the NON safety concerns for players of the game of football...

How many of you came here after watching Concussion?

One of the best educated, smartest people in the field of medicine and someone calls him a voodoo doctor. What is wrong with people?

I so like him when he's just smiling as he's mentioning the insults he endured. He's an amazing doctor.

I love this Nigerian brother and Doctor. He maintained his Nigerian accent after all the years spent in the USA. Most Africans will fake american accent.

I walked away from this movie with relief and cried my soul out knowing I made the right decision not to allow my sons to play. I didn't know about CTE of course, I just had a feeling about it. Mother's intuition. I second-guessed myself. I was tortured about the future. Today he is an electrician and with good decisions, he will live far beyond my exit. I will go on beyond the veil with peace because I didn't focus on money and sacrifice my sons' lives and future for it. My goal was to protect my sons and I believe I did that. (Deep sigh and making the sign of the cross.)😇😇😇

God bless you Dr. Bennet Omalu.

Bless you Dr.Omalu, for this groundbreaking research.

Big up to Dr. Bennet Omalu for Standing up, against the big 700 million dollar giant, the NFL.

By the way, David Morse deserves an Oscar for his portrayal of Iron Mike Webster in that flick...

This man is an Angel. Much love and respect to him. Football is not worth your health.

Look up Gerald McClellan to see a heartbreaking example of what trauma to the brain can do. You wouldn't hit your finger with a hammer over and over and expect not to cause injury. The fact that people even debate wether it's "real" is insane. You may not care but you can't say it's not valid.

idk why but the doc looks mad young. like hes 15

Excellent interview of an extraordinary physician. I am wondering about my own CTE, not from football or sports. But from the 18 years of my parents beating me up, almost daily, since birth, until I could leave home. They committed even more heinous acts, but I cannot elaborate. I have many neurological disorders, epigentic effects which negate proof of causality, and may explain my early dementia onset. Many children have had this happen, and it is occurring now.

I suppose he was demonized because players and even fans thought that he was trying to end the game. I didn’t see it that way at all. He was trying to educate people of the dangers of playing the sport. If a person knows the risks and continues to play then that is 100% on the player.

CTE found in 99% of studied brains from deceased NFL players By Daniella Emanuel, CNN Updated 1857 GMT (0257 HKT) July 25, 2017

My dad played football in junior high and a year or so into high school. Thank the Lord he had to quit playing because his knee went out on him. I won't let my son play football either. Even before I herd of cte I thought football was to harsh on people.

They keep on saying concussion cause CTE, but it is blunt force repeated trauma like the doc says.

Great interview and the movie was an eye opener.

great man...

Cnt believe he was given citizenship just 2015

Helmets seem to encourage people to use their head as a battering ram, i think the league would see fewer head injuries if they went back to the old school leather helmet

Forest Whittaker should have played him instead of Will Smith.

Thank you for making football safer I have friends in the nfl and I want to thank dr omalu for telling the truth. Now the nfl has to make the game safer

He really deserves noble prize

Tell de trooth!!

I commend the guy for his work, but at the same time it is almost funny that it took this much to prove that bashing your head against the heads of others for years might lead to some negative side effects.

Nothing but hero. Dr. Bennett Omalu simply deserves noble prize

Here after Tua's injuries

I'm watching after watching the movie and now mind is blown its so big

Wait a minute, the make $9.9bn/year they were order to pay $1bn over 65 years. How is that fair.

great man

Will Smith may need more security now. The NFL makes a lot of money and they will do everything to protect that. Seems like a great movie, I might go and see.

At 2:30 i thought he was cutting chicken meat but then i realized its really a brain meat...holy shit...😂🤣😂🤣

Tell da truuff

Kids do your self a favor and make a switch to basketball.

A very interesting interview & I think a good movie about this.

the reporter at the end looked like his voice was breaking and was holding back tears

That this vid has such few views is testimony to why this problem won't be solved

I just watched an extremely informative movie about CTE and this doctor’s name was NEVER mentioned. How disrespectful. Time to nominate Dr. Omalu for a Nobel Prize. My own experience with multiple concussions, and finally being diagnosed with a Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI), does not afford me the luxury of remembering if it is a Nobel Peace Prize or what it is properly called. Heck, I rely upon my phone’s auto spelling to help me spell even some of the simplest words. This stuff is REAL!!! And I am not an athlete.

simply , STOP play football

I just knew the "n-word" was coming but Dr. Omalu is a hero❤️❤️💪

I'm so sorry Elaine Marie its commen sense head trauma will cause problems...my son use to fall so much as a child that I truly believe its the reason my son has child like ways when he's in his twenties that hasn't gone away

This story hit me so much Such an inspiring story about an amazing doctor that all he wanted was to help by teaching us the dangers of a brutal sport We neee more doctors like Bennett Omalu

The problem is the attitudes we hold when we don't respond well to failures, circumstances, and trials.

I never played contact sports but had maybe 5 concussions. Is my risk high or very low? I heard he said repetitive blows are more dangerous over years like boxing and football even hockey.

I got assaulted by 4 guys and received many blows to my head (5-10) with bare knuckles. Unfortunately I live in Greece so justice probably will not punish really hard the guys (which I know who they are). I really hope CTE does not appear with 1 assault.. I had hit 2 times in my life my head. I feel my cognitive level getting lessen but maybe it's because my depression. Hopefully everything will be alright. Faith in God always.

Im 6'0 150 and of very average strength. I was trying to mimic some hard closed fist slaps to a punching bag, similar to an O line man. 50 of those FROM ME a day would obviously mess you up. Now imagine a guy 5x my strength.

Go from tackle to flag football.

Great dr Omalu ! Man of courage !

Imagine being paid 769 dollars a player per year for 65 years for brain damage. Ludicrous.

People losing thier minds over football. ITS NOT WORTH IT STOP PLAYING

A hero and a half!

I would love for Chris Nowinski to meet Dr Omalu the 2 of them going on for hours on head issues including with NFL and Professional Wrestling

Will smith killed the accent😂😂😂😂

I really think I'm struggling from this. I'm so upset.

The NFL finally admitted it, but the NHL still denies it as of 2023. Here's what the NHL commissioner has to say, "Gary Bettman, the league’s commissioner, has long insisted there is “no conclusive link” between repetitive head impacts and CTE." So Mr. Bettman is denying it even exist, do a story on Bettman ABC, or will you let your 7 year contract to televise NHL games bias you also? Prove me wrong.

It's not just former pro athletes that suffer from years of hits to the head and the damage from CTE. Look up the story of of Zac Easter. He played high school football in Iowa in a town called Indianola. His senior year he suffered 3 concussions and he didn't even finish the season. He never suffered another concussion after that and yet he suffered from CTE. He committed suicide when he was 24 years old and like Junior Seau, he shot himself in the chest so that his brain could be examined.

It wasn’t a new medical condition there are cases in boxer way before he found it in Webster the first NFL player who’s brain was tested. The parents are smart a kid that was 18 yrs old committed suicide and he played high school football he had CTE. That’s an 18 yr old. Watch the frontline documentary “League of Denial” it’s a well done doc. With really eye opening stuff and shows exactly how the NFL knew and still denied. It one US Senator compared the NFL to Big Tobacco and I feel that’s a legit comparison

Kids, drop your ego and stop participating in mma while you can. It will destroy your life forever, make it a living hell.

Is it me or does the good Dr. Sound like Bruce Lee when he speaks😂

The movie was disrespectful to this doctor. He doesn’t yell or act like a creep.

Where's the best place or person to do heptopic eptopic pregnancy?

I used to get angry why WWE banned agressive moves as a kid, but now I realise they did the good thing for the wrestlers.

My uncle played pro hockey now I see what he went I feel so bad 😔😔😔😔 for him

Só faltou as legendas em português

Wating forever from cause from head trauma feel of never get up

"It is about our common humanity."

How strange that the American people needed the good doctor and the concussion movie, to know that football must have adverse effects on the brain.

Yes

The real Hero

Basketball is soon going to be America's number one sport. Soccer will continue to grow and Baseball will even make a comeback.

Here after looking the film

"Faithfulness tends to be a one-sided expectation for many believers. They expect God's faithfulness in their lives, but reciprocating faithfulness back to Him is not often portrayed or demonstrated genuinely.. 'His lord said unto him, Well done, good and faithful servant; thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord,' (Matthew 25:23). Many Christians claim to be faithful to the "work of God," but can't see that their faithfulness is really to the work they choose to do for God, not necessarily the work He desires to do through them, to fulfill His will. There is a great divide in where faithfulness lies among many believers in the Body of Christ. Some are faithful to their service to people above their service to God. How can you really love and serve God without considering what He desires? Without considering His will and His expected outcome? Being faithful to God should not be second place to anything else in our lives!! Without Him, we are completely nothing.. Walking with Him should be first! Seeking Him should be first! Loving Him should be first!! Only then will we truly be able to be faithful to the infamous quoted scripture, 'thy will be done!' Faithfulness is not just about what we receive from God, but it is how we serve and give back to Him..!" ~David E. Taylor~

When is the NFL going to repay the families? and support the children who's dad's gave their lives for the sport? literally? The NFL has so much money and yet, they drop them like a hot potato - concussion did not cover the family trauma at all- nor the devastation to them financially and legally.

I think the worst thing that will happen to Will Smith I'd that some hard core football fans will boycott his movies. Football and the NFL will survive perhaps in a different and safer form. Full contact football is and will always be a rough spot.

Facts on CTE. 🧠

Does it really needs a doctor to tell you that when you hit your head constantly for years will result in something really bad!? 🤔

Would it help to get rid of pads of helmets

I love him

MAKE BASEBALL AMERICA'S SPORT AGAIN!

This should have really bin an item on Last Week Tonight. Maybe it still can?

made me wonder too about women who take beatings to the head from being abused?!

lol 8:50 at the very end, after ask that bad choice of words :)

"What were some of the things they would call you back then". I was disappointed when he didn't say 'witch doctor'.

this is why people root for the players instead of joining the team because of this

These poor human beings who were in such mental agony but the NFL only cared about protecting their brand.

all pro sports have to do now is make sure contracts say "participate at own risk".

"Have you found yourself feeling down, out, or not worthy of what God has already freely given you? The devil wants to find every area of your life that lacks God's joy and try to take you to a place that remembers your pain, fear, and depression.. I am here to remind you that the joy of the Lord is your strength! Daughters, delight yourself in the Lord and remember there are no circumstances you face that can prevent His joy from breaking through into every situation you encounter!! '... for the joy of the Lord is your strength,' (Nehemiah 8:10). God has given you His divine power over the enemy - and it is His JOY that NEVER runs out! Stand on the Word of God, walk in His truth, and know you are destined for greatness!!" ~David E. Taylor~

Strength and honour are her clothing; and she shall rejoice in time to come. She openeth her mouth with wisdom; and in her tongue is the law of kindness. She looketh well to the ways of her household, and eateth not the bread of idleness. Her children arise up, and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praiseth her. Many daughters have done virtuously, but thou excellest them all. Favour is deceitful, and beauty is vain: but a woman that feareth the LORD, she shall be praised," (Proverbs 31:25-30).

That’s why you don’t drop your helmet while tacking.

I've built a helmet for my own brain injuries. Was suffering badly. 3 years later I healed my brain. If anyone reads this that can line things up. Already tested & ready for clinical professional to test.

So you cut the number of concussions by 36%. If the average player gets 10 now, with the reduction of 34%, that's still 6 concussions.

A great CTE documentary is “A League of Denial” it’s on KZfaq. It shows the real life denial by the NFL.
