Dr. Omalu should be awarded the Nobel prize for his findings.
-
As someone suffering from this disease I want to thank you for everything you've done for people like me
-
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.
-
This guy is an angel shining light on the dark secrets of the nfl. His discovery wasn't an accident.
-
The 1 dislike is Roger Goodell
-
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...
-
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.
-
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.
-
God bless you Dr. Bennet Omalu.
-
Bless you Dr.Omalu, for this groundbreaking research.

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.)😇😇😇

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

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