The doctor who was portrayed by Will Smith in the 2015 movie “Concussion” said he believes parents who allow kids to play impact sports are basically abusing their children.
Dr. Bennet Omalu was in Reno, Nevada, this week to speak at a local university and told the Reno Gazette Journal that allowing kids to play impact sports like football, ice hockey and wrestling is very dangerous.
He said allowing anyone under the age of 18 to participate is potential critically harmful, and that even one childhood concussion can lead to educational and emotional issues, including dropping out of school.
“If that is not child abuse,” he told the Gazette Journal, “I don’t know what is....You are exposing that child to the risk of brain damage. It is a 100 percent risk exposure.”
