Will Smith threatens to give the NFL an almighty headache in the first trailer for Concussion, a new film that paints the league in a harsh light. Directed by Peter Landesman (Parkland), Concussion centers on Dr Bennet Omalu (Smith), the Nigerian forensic pathologist and neuropathologist who discovered chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) in football players, who take countless blows to the head playing the sport. Because of Omalu?s findings, other players who have endured a history of head trauma have been found to suffer from the same progressive degenerative brain disease. Landesman likened football to ?smoking, drinking and doing drugs? in a recent interview with the Monday Morning Quarterback.
