Concussion is a film about football players & suicide



Depression is a lot like being drunk. There’s a point where you wish you could puke and get it over with but it’s just not happening. As I understand it there’s a lot of ex football players in this state. Just hopelessly miserable but not on suicide watch. Or on their way to Parkinson’s.


They need to implement weight limits in football just like are in use in most other contact sports. You don't force boxers to go up against guys 50+ lbs heavier than they are, over and over, daily in practice and weekly in games.


How about just change it to flag football? That would prioritize speed.


NFL fans don’t want to watch flag football, generally


Do you happen to have statistics about that? I would love to see them
