Also on the movie front, Will Smith has a movie coming out on Christmas day "Concussion". I was frankly shocked at the trailer for it. Basically the movie is an unabashed slam on the NFL and their handling of head trauma. I could see some political hay to be made by the hollyweird liberal left attacking the NFL but as we well know the NFL works hard to be a proactive front for the liberal left.

That is what made the trailer so shocking to me. They portray the NFL as a bunch of uncaring white men out to wreck the health of football players. It seemed from the trailer that the story was centered around Mike Webster, the Steeler lineman that had a bunch of problems at the end of his life. But besides that there is Will Smith with his fake jamaican accent freaking out that the NFL is going to have him killed. Really? The NFL is sending out hitmen to take out black lawyers that want to sue the NFL for their part in covering up or not addressing head injuries?

And a blockbuster movie is going to insinuate that not only is the NFL covering up their role in the concussion issue but they are engaging in criminal acts to impede civil court action? I am really surprised this movie is being made in this way. Unless the movie trailer is misleading this movie is a declaration of war between hollywood and the NFL. I guess the NFL didn't do a good enough job taking out the Patriots and protecting the role of black athletes as supermen. That and not turning Micheal Sam into a superstar. For that the NFL must pay.

Much like when Goldman Sachs got fake slapped on the wrist by the government a few years back. The Zionist's put the whitest guy possible in Charge for a couple of minutes to be the "fall guy". It was all Goddells doing apparently. What is it that the majority of Sports owners and until recently all major sports commissioners had in common? Seems to me "the tribe" is up to even more of their shannanigans behind the scenes.

I noticed a bunch of lame previews for this film, too. Roger Goodell played by the unfunny Luke Wilson. Will Smith bawling about the NFL “lying.†Alec Baldwin, who was in trouble a few years back for using slurs against homos, plays another doctor. Personally, I couldn’t care less about the medical plight of multi-million dollar athletes who choose to play a sport, retire in their 30’s to lifelong fame and glory (and broadcasting/analyst jobs), and are artificially propped up by the racial Caste System and usually didn’t deserve their roster spot (or collegiate scholarship) in the first place.

I’m happy to see that several recent Will Smith movies have bombed at the box office and this tripe will be no different. When Smith’s 2013 film, “After Earth,†was universally detested by critics, allegations of “racism†were thrown out. That’s right, white people aren’t even allowed to suggest that a movie which stars black actors in the lead roles isn’t very good without being challenged by The System...

Wait wait wait. Back up.

Will Smith as a lawyer with a Jamaican accent?

"I and I wish to approach the bench your honor."

I might just go see this one.

I think the NFL actually likes the concussion controversy. It masks a much larger problem, sub-concussive hits. Sub-concussive hits as their name implies are injuries severe enough to do damage to the brain but not severe enough to be called concussions. The brain is actually very good at recovering from large brain injuries eg. concussions, especially if detected early and kept from harm's way for awhile. It is not however as good at recovering from thousands of minute brain injuries. The NFL might be successful at getting rid of concussions from the game at some point but they'll never remove sub-concussive hits. As such the NFL as a whole would obviously prefer the media discuss something they can actually remedy as opposed to something they can't.

seeing as how I'd like the NFL to die in the same way that a junkie secretly wants his dealer to be arrested, it should be good news that head injuries could wipe out the NFL, but I'm sure some new discovery would be made, like black people have a natural immunity to these types of head injuries, so in the end it would just be another way to limit the number of white players.

Whites are more likely to keep away from the sport that can cause such debilitating injuries. Many of them have viable fallback careers.

I've been saying for years that they need to go back to leather helmets or use plastic helmets with no facemasks, then you won't see so many players using their head as a weapon.
