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.
