Real-life Doctor Behind Will Smith's 'Concussion' Speaks Out

[@calvinhaynes5781]

Dr. Olamu is such a charismatic gentlemen. His passion is clearly worn on his sleeve. My botany teacher was also Nigerian, he reminds me so much of him. Great work doctor!

[@RebelEight-z7q]

every once in a while, a person stands out from the crowd to remind us of certain dangers that we normally brush aside in our daily lives...kudos to this nigerian man

[@MLA56]

He's a Nigerian-American. He makes it very clear how deeply he loves America. I would love to hug him tightly just based on his statements about the United States!

[@jhunlyngabayan5100]

Dr. Omalu, I salute you! You are a very smart individual.

[@dragonflydebs5923]

What an amazing person. If only everyone would dare to speak the truth in a world that only hears what they want to xxx

[@puiwahchow2362]

I watched the movie Concussion last night and have enjoyed it greatly. Salute to Dr. Omalu and thanks to Will Smith who plays the part so well. To me, a person who dares to speak the truth and have the guts to go all the way deserves the highest respect.....Totally not easy

[@thepincushionman7063]

Pui Wah Chow why do you spend your time on movies? They get your money and attention to manipulate. What do you get.

[@MsColetha]

My heart goes out to Dr. Omalu, he tinks America is about truth....Lhm

[@iVince905]

More so the corporations and governments is what leads to the corupt American society

[@charleslima982]

Coletha Albert that doctor should be beaten constantly people should rip off his arms he's legs and being him with it and laugh at him when yelling for his life

[@thoteater1756]

Charles Lima why, because exposing the truth and protecting millions of men from brain damage?

[@LuckyLucky-xp2sz]

Coletha Albert . Are you serious? If that is what he taught, he wouldn't be struggling to get the so called truthful Americans to accept the truth.

[@SigmundQFreud]

Dont tell him the truth, I dont think I could handle watching him cry.

[@ΕυριπίδηςΣυνοπίδης]

thank God there are still people that speak the truth!!!there is still hope for humanity!!my respects for thisDr. as ahuman and a doctor!

[@eferrari96]

he is like a hero in movies and series who fight against big conglomerates, but in reality.

[@josephmartin7687]

What a great all around man! So inspiring!

[@BowerNasir]

he has the sweetest smile

[@deevanlife4049]

Will Smith should have won the Oscar for this movie.

[@jcd221]

Dee VANLIFE that’s what I thought too.

[@brennenbjorgan1867]

Yes

[@AnaisKarim]

Definitely. But he wasn't even nominated.

[@zoezen]

Absolutely!!!

[@doctorfeline9911]

I watched the premier today... and this movie touched me.... simply amazing and very very insightful God bless the numerous families who lost their sons, fathers and brothers to the harmful effects of CTE. I'm also proud of the work Dr. Omalu did to discover & expose this. soooo proud to be Nigerian

[@yvettewest3279]

Dr Bennett Omalu, You are one of the many angels pre-destined for this time on earth. May armies of angels continue to open doors for blessings to all families throughout the world. ONE JOY, ONE HOPE, ONE LOVE!!!

[@gopherlee9427]

His pro career lasted 5 years. Thats it. Yet the damage sustained from playing in high school and college and NFL is permanent even 15 years after retiring.

[@kwood6882]

I'm 2 yrs late. Just saw the kovie on STARZ. I must say that Will Smith played that part excellently. He is in the league of star actors like Densel, Dustin Hoffman, etc.

[@MrRoque-pg3yr]

What a great man.

[@Ketutar]

Now we just need someone to do something similar for the cheerleaders. "A study ranked cheerleading 16th on a list of sports with the highest number of injuries. Another recent study found that cheerleading is the most dangerous sport for females because of the high risk for concussions and “catastrophic” injuries, which are classified as injuries that result in long-term medical conditions, permanent disabilities or a shorter lifespan." And they may not wear any protection...

[@Anonymous-BT]

I love this guy , it’s a shame that I didn’t know him until I’ve watched the movie even though I’m familiar with the term CTE since I have been watching professional wrestling and MMA

[@marilynseptember21]

Same with boxing, wrestling and marital arts.

[@60283189]

Who the fuck disliked this?

[@abolajiadewaleolusegun2466]

forget about who disliked, it could be fun

[@igstertv]

More patriotic than most born here.

[@jusrayne]

Right

[@Ketutar]

Well... patriotic means that one loves one's "Patria" - his "Patria" is Nigeria. Not USA.

[@igstertv]

Ketutar Jensen thanks for the grammar lesson, he loves America.

[@save_theworld]

Omalu kwube means, he that knows should say it. That also means, say the truth always.

[@sailorboy165]

Holy shit wow. I will never allow kids to play high impact sports

[@thepincushionman7063]

Explore_Visulaize just go ahead and put them in a cage.

[@davidsessoms7142]

I hope this will change the sport of professional football forever in a more positive way.

[@Digitalhunny]

Great interview.

[@rrrusttie]

Look & remember what happened to Muhammad Ali the boxer.

[@vetdoc35]

That Sport should be banned from schools!

[@cvpiguy]

now I’m more worried about corona

[@user-cn5dh5ox1t]

OMG!

[@adeolaquadri1405]

I wonder why he kept saying " The truth define we the Americans " Smh

[@jackpea7102]

Adeola Quadri He is more American than the Americans.

[@beautifulautumn1]

Because it was being in America that allowed him to achieve. If he'd stayed in Nigeria he would have been one if those corrupt docs or a very very frustrated and wretchedly poor man. So yeah, it's "we the Americans.."

[@athletic_joseph1236]

Its mostly football, boxing and even hockey

[@SandyCB7]

And SOCCER!!

[@jusrayne]

Yes so many boxers so sad

[@bigboi7076]

I would rather play basketball

[@sayhi2kojo1]

Omar epps would have also done a great job cos he looks like the dr

[@gmbappe2077]

nice

[@itisme2645]

Dr omalu is doing a Great thing and The fights for The right thing but "The american dream "smh.....

[@dcorianpope4317]

Dr. BENNET OMALU. Why hide his name?

[@lorenzogrant9218]

🙂 🔥🔥🔥👼

[@Migz8000]

[@dalejoy3986]

Have you ever been to Nigeria? It sounds Nigerian to me, of course, I have been there.

[@bigorsetomatoesauce6403]

Dale Joy fact, i work with Africans and yeah this doesnt sound vietnamese

[@jiggyone868]

You are crazy Miguel. He sounds so Nigerian you wouldn't even know he's lived in the US for over 20 years

[@ericmatterson9905]

Will tried to give Chris Rock a concussion at the Grammys

[@Obi19700]

This another Biafran chased away from Biafra by Nigerians. Biafrans are great!!!

[@neppu8000]

*de wae*

[@andersonbrown5507]

Will Smith ruined this movie with that terrible accent. Omg. I didn't know it was that bad. No he should not of been nominated for anything I'm sorry.

[@chidioman5178]

What did you mean by 'terrible accent'? Why must you talk about accent instead for you to pick the message? Do you know what 'psychology of acting' means? You racist black NIGGA.

[@limeykl]

Are you Nigerian?
