Nazi Propaganda Machine would have been envious!

Rating: 2/10 (23 May 2016)

In my 50 years on the planet, I've never seen such a piece of lopsided idealistic garbage. I'm a big fan of Will Smith. I'm also a fan of the NFL and Science. I not a big fan of propaganda. If I'm to believe this movie, the NFL forced the FBI to indite an innocent doctor and, just for fun, give Will Smith's character's wife a miscarriage. This is not an exaggeration. The implication was not subtle in the movie it was beaten into your skull much like a head on collision in the NFL. The NFL's omnipotence is mostly focused on it's ability to trick everyone into believing that getting hit in the head couldn't possibly be bad for you, but those little extras are thrown in just to remind you that God works for the NFL too. That must be why the movie says the NFL took over God's day.
The NFL certainly could have taken steps long ago, which they now have, to make the game safer. Some say too safe. Taking the decision to allow players with possible concussions back into the game out of the players and coaches hands is an obvious addition that few could disagree with. This movie movie doesn't address any of that.
The movie simply should have been call the Saints vs The Devil (aka the NFL). This picture is that simplistic in it's portrayal of characters.
Now I've been a soldier for nearly 30 years. The military has never once told me that getting shot could be bad for my health. Should I sue?
