In the 1990's, NFL Commissioner Paul Tagliabue said the NFL's concussion crisis was just story created by journalists. Leading brain scientists did not agree.

"Mild Traumatic Brain Injury" is an oxymoron. There is no such thing as a mild (non-dangerous) brain injury.
The helmet protects only from open wounds and stuff like that, but as Omalu showed in the film, put a ball in water inside a glass jar and shake it violently. Every time the ball hits the glass it makes your brain bleed a little. After a career of football it is like little firecrackers going off inside the brain and makes the cognitive brain a jumbled mess that basically ceases to function.
You would think that it would be common sense that hitting your head that hard isn't healthy for your mind.
Matt White but a lot of players thought the helmet would protect them
It is common sense, but people are taught to believe authorities and the studies said there was no issue. Therefore there was no issue. Now you would think that it would be common sense that giving a newborn baby 5-6 separate intravenous vaccine injections, each with an untested myriad of combined dosages, would not be healthy. But guess what happens when people question it? Yep, we get pointed to the studies that show there's no problem and we get told to ignore thousands upon thousands of parents who see their kids deteriorating in real life after vaccination.
@@gorkyd7912 bruh are u actually anti Vax
@@padraic5020 Not anti-vax but people should not try to shame other people into following what we call "the studies," half of which are just bullshit with some sciency words that a peer reviewer didn't care to argue about. Science is never a good enough reason for authoritarianism. Eugenics and evolution-based racism was all the scientific rage once too. Vaccines are common sense, but not taking a shitload of them all at once when your immune system hasn't even developed yet is also common sense.
@@gorkyd7912 dude im more conspiracy theorist than you are these vaccines have been planned years before this plandemic the govt just wanted to see if we would comply.
I played Football, in the UK as well as in Australia... for twenty some years! I was taught the hard hitting way and that's the way I played -Running back and Linebacker... - concussions were 'par for the course' and never really worried me... at the time! I experienced the same as Troy Aikman and relived the 'forgotten conversation' a number of times, even since moving away from football... desperately trying to write the incidents off, with a laugh and a joke! The whole 'issue' seems so very familiar to me - is kinda worrying, to say the least!
How are you now man?
Hope you're doing okay....
For sure this guy got cte already or maybe dead
in the rugby world they are taking concussion seriously as players safety are concerned, NFL should change its mindset like now!!
Lepani Takala rugby is a lot safer but to make it safer ban hits above the hip and hits in the air as well as blind side hits
Rugby has strong amateur roots and they need to keep the game accesible because unless you are a Kiwi or a Pacific Islander is not ever the N1 sport in most countries. So they are dealing with the CTE with rules and training. In the US American football is a seminstitutional sport. From School to College to pro. And its N 1 sport there. So there is no need to change when you are N 1. And Americans like to deal with CTE with gear....
Any of these doctors been sued for malpractice?
My grandmother’s cousin played for the Eagles for one year in the 50’s. He was a very smart guy who went for school for biology and understand on some level that this sport was seriously dangerous and hurting his body. He left after that year and joined the air force and married his college girlfriend, whose name I share. They were married until the day she died and he lived until he was 84. I am grateful he understood his own body and brain enough to know how much football could hurt him, as it is probably why we had him for so long.
Mild traumatic? That's absolutely laughable and absurd.
This is always the result of “internal studies” of controversial groups/topics.
If people are studying themselves confirmation bias kicks in and they only look for evidence that will protect themselves
THIS is what happens to men who become infatuated with wealth. They ROT
FROM THE INSIDE OUT, and become zombies with zero respect, zero morals
and no conscience whatsoever. They are 100% self absorbed and when they
answer to God, no amount of bribery, redirection, or coercion will save
people like NFL commissioner Roger Goodell and his co-conspirators, the doctors on payroll.
navyservant52 Njo god he's not real.
@@thelegendkillersshittyduff1335 you got proof?
Follow the money...
I got in a bad bike wreck dirt bike no helmet was never the same doctor said i was fine, i knew i wasnt as i grew up i was a sparring partner for friends who fought all my brothers boxed my dad so i knew how to but like football you take head shots you cab slip some but sooner or later youll get your bell rung , but now older i cant tell , like some might get anger issues , some might get more emotional like saddness and youll forget simple stuff, and you go how T.F did i forget that or you must read over n over just to get it to stick i exercise my brain read out loud and keep it working like any other myscle will you be 100% no but i think it helps.
Stfu dude we know the risks.....we love the game....I would rather take these risks doing what i love, than sit at home on the couch making sure I'm safe
bigtime89 fuck off fuck the NFL. Heard nfl made 9 billion last year. NFL only cares about money. There are on Ly saying we care bec people are knowing more about this NFL hide about cte bec of money. Like I sad fuck the NFL and you are a brainless idiot sheep. Follow follow follow that's all you do.
No you wouldnt. Nothing is worth dementia and chronic headaches so excruciatingly bad you wanna blow your own brains out
U can't let an advisor or anyone hired by the league..it has to be a totally independent research firm untethered from the league: completely
These people are liars. This undermines the integrity of the peer-reviewed process ENTIRELY.
it's always about the money......
these commissioners are just as guilty as the old school cigarettes company ceo's who claimed that smoking cigarettes cause no damage.......
NFL should be sued into bankruptcy.
BTW, Even Bill Cosby was a “Dr.” 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Yeah and he's out of jail now lol
All of the docs on that MTBI committee should have their licenses suspended
Very interesting the documentary. Please, don't forget the close caption. Thank you.
On the Adam Carolla show we call this game “ Stupid or Liar” 🧐
I think Leigh Steinberg really hates the nfl
