The Other Lawsuit..

Since most of my blogs have been about fantasy sports lawsuits, specifically football, I believe it is time to shed light on another lawsuit that involves football.  The Concussion lawsuit.  There has been a couple different lawsuits suing the NFL, the CFL, NCAA and certain helmet brands such as Riddell and Schutt.  This lawsuit has been brought to the public after research suggested that football players whom have suffered head injuries or concussions can lead to permanent brain damage and early onset of dementia. Some of these side effects include, but are not limited to change in personality, depression,  ringing in ears, chronic headaches, memory loss and suicidal thoughts/tendencies.  This has been studied from the professional level all the way down to high school. 
If this is your first time hearing this and you are interested in learning more about the NFL and concussions, there will be a movie featuring Will Smith and Alec Baldwin called "Concussion". In the film, Smith plays Dr. Bennett Omalu,  a Nigerian-born forensic pathologist in Pittsburgh who knows nothing about football when he performs the autopsy on a former NFL player. He soons learns how brain injury can be caused by playing football and the long-term effects that it has on the players.  It also shows the controversy that this started when the findings were revealed to the Roger Goodell and the NFL.  The movie is based on true events and uses real names of actual players who were used for research. The film hits theaters December 25, 2015.
