Uh oh, NFL concussion movie coming soon a theater near you

Source - Parkes/MacDonald Prods. has acquired movie and TV rights to the book “League of Denial: The NFL, Concussions and the Battle for Truth.”
The deal comes less than four months after the NFL reached a $765 million settlement with more than 4,500 former players for concussion-related compensation, exams and medical research.
The book, written by ESPN reporters and brothers Mark Fainaru-Wada and Steve Fainaru, centers on the dangers of football-related head injuries and the NFL’s failure to protect its players. 

Can the NFL stop beating me over the head with this shit? (pun intended) It's a viloent sport, people get concussions. It's dangerous. The repercussions later in your life are scary. But for some reason people keep failing to grasp that these players signed up. There were not drafted to Vietnam, they were drafted into the NFL by choice. And they get paid MILLIONS of dollars to play a kid's game. The game is being ruined in front of our eyes, please make the bad man stop. My only hope is that I get the role of Gronk in the 2023 movie "NFL : no full ligaments" chronicling the plight of every single knee in the league.
