Joblo | ‘Concussion’ Review

Joblo

There is no question that football can be a tough game. The players take on challenging plays and put their bodies at risk on a daily basis. Of course, there is a whole lot of money that is made on the sport so you can bet that all involved will do whatever they can to win. In Concussion, the revelation that major head trauma may be affecting players becomes a controversial issue. Based on a true story, the film begins with one such player who loses control of his life in every way possible. Mike Webster (David Morse) finds himself homeless, dealing with dementia and depression. He was the first pro football player to be diagnosed after his death with chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE). Something that had not yet been discovered until after his tragic demise.
