.They never tell us things like this.I bet you never knew a Nigerian man made the discovery of  CTE, a football-related brain trauma, in a pro player.All the media wanna portray is little negative stories.Well,i'm gonna shout out this achievement and celebrate it.
Will Smith stars in the incredible true David vs. Goliath story of Dr. Bennet Omalu, the brilliant forensic neuropathologist who made the first discovery of CTE, a football-related
brain trauma, in a pro player.


For nearly a century, doctors knew that boxers who were repeatedly punched in the head could develop symptoms of severe brain damage, eventually leading to dementia. But it wasn't until Omalu examined the brain of former Pittsburgh Steeler Mike Webster (who'd suffered from severe depression and dementia before dying from a heart attack at age 50) that anyone suspected the same thing could happen to football players.
When Omalu cut slices from Webster's brain and looked at them under a microscope, he was surprised to see tangled proteins and other characteristic signs of CTE. A year later, Omalu examined the brain of Terry Long — another Steelers legend, who'd killed himself at age 45 by drinking antifreeze — and saw the same picture. "This stuff should not be in the brain of a 45-year-old man," Omalu later said. "This looks more like a 90-year-old brain with advanced Alzheimer's."

The movie would be released to the rest of the world on 25th December, 2015.


The movie also stars Adewale Agbaje, Naija all the way.I would definitely love to see this movie.I hope its available in Nigeria also.
