I'm interested in seeing the film, because I like to know why sports leagues like the NFL and NHL wouldn't make anything better to prevent concussion from happening and ruining players careers. I've been pretty extemely peeved for 5 years over Marc Savard suffering concussion.
American Football and ice hockey are contact sports. There isn't a way to prevent concussions from happening unless the style of play is drastically changed, turning it into a non-contact sport. The NFL has stepped up (after being hounded by retired players, Chicago Bears legend Mike Ditka being the ring leader) and has put in place better healthcare and financial compensation for current and former players.
The sports are a lot safer now than it was in their beginnings, mainly the protective equipment used by the players. Let's not forget that both professional leagues are paying their players handsomely and it's something they volunteer for. There are inherent risks in many professions, not just pro football and hockey.
I wonder if any hockey players have participated in the brain study like some NFL players have? I'm talking about the one where the players donate their brain. That's how the impact of repeated concussions has been gaining ground in the lawsuit against the NFL.
