In the recently released movie " Concussion ", Will Smith portrays Dr. Bennet Omalu, a man of both faith and science. In addition to a riveting storyline, the movie reveals several important facts about concussions.

I think this is it: http://www.gq.com/story/nfl-players-brain-dementia-study-memory-concussions They don't just happen in football (though they do happen a lot in football). Cheerleading, soccer, synchronized swimming, cycling and other sports all have their share. Dr. Omalu also seems to have lived Schopenhauer's famous quote: "All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident."
