Title: PBS' "A League of Denial" Frontline's Documentary on NFL Concussions
Post by: Hap on October 09, 2013, 11:17:14 AM

2.5 hours from Frontline.  Just finished it.  Not a waste of your time.  In keeping with the spirit of the documentary, might some watch the show prior to opining?

I knew it was not going to be pretty for the NFL, but I had no idea of how far the league went to cover-up and discredit. Comparing them to tobacco companies was spot on.

 :furious Maverick, you are correct.  People should be more valuable than money.  I began to watch again.  It hurts too much.
