In how he stayed down. "Protocol failed?" Bull. Protocol ignored. Gtfo.

papasmurfbell Posted November 27, 2015 Posted November 27, 2015 There's a new movie coming out in a few weeks on this subject called: CONCUSSIONI am looking forward to it. I don't think the NFL is though.
dc. Posted November 27, 2015 Author Posted November 27, 2015 Yeah - had that immediate thought about the movie too. I am curious, though, that it seems like the movie uses NFL logos and such ... so I assume there had to be some cooperation? But I have heard it is an incredibly damning look at them and not helpful. Several articles say it will be the start of the league's slide... add to that the Gifford news among many others and CTE...
papasmurfbell Posted November 27, 2015 Posted November 27, 2015 I think it will be devastating. The thing is they may have video from news footage and I am not sure the NFL can prevent them from using that.
dc. Posted November 28, 2015 Author Posted November 28, 2015 I meant more the NFL logos and such that I remember in the trailers, both the actual NFL shield and individual team logos - wouldn't NFL have to approve use?
TBird Posted November 28, 2015 Posted November 28, 2015 I saw the previews and it's not pretty as brief as they are. You can google the trailer. What is Gifford News and CTE? Is that Frank Gifford?
cravnravn Posted November 28, 2015 Posted November 28, 2015 I saw the previews and it's not pretty as brief as they are. You can google the trailer. What is Gifford News and CTE? Is that Frank Gifford?Yes they studied his brain it showed the signs for CTE.
papasmurfbell Posted November 28, 2015 Posted November 28, 2015 I will look at the trailer later but I thought the logos were in news footage in the film.
dc. Posted November 29, 2015 Author Posted November 29, 2015 I'd have to watch again, but I thought they had scenes in the NFL offices with logos on walls, etc... Not that it matters.
papasmurfbell Posted November 29, 2015 Posted November 29, 2015 http://www.nytimes.com/2015/09/02/sports/football/makers-of-sonys-concussion-film-tried-to-avoid-angering-nfl-emails-show.html?_r=0This is interesting. Maybe the concessions allowed for the logo use. http://www.showbiz411.com/2015/11/13/will-smith-after-dearth-of-hits-concussion-brings-him-back-to-the-oscar-race “Concussion” takes on the NFL in a big way. So how did the producers get the rights to NFL logos, footage, images? The answer: they didn’t. “Sony did a remarkable thing. They got righteous and aggressive said, God dammit, If they want to sue us they can. If they sued that would be a good story in itself,” says Landesman. “We got to show how beautiful the game is. We want people to walk out [and think about football] it’s beautiful and it will kill you.”
dc. Posted November 29, 2015 Author Posted November 29, 2015 Interesting. I've always wondered about the idea of fair use in most of that anyway - if it's a true story, I wouldn't have to pay to write a book using your name... So why different in a movie?
papasmurfbell Posted November 29, 2015 Posted November 29, 2015 I was thinking the same thing. But a name and a copyright are different I think.

dc. Posted December 11, 2015 Author Posted December 11, 2015 Yeah, I know they are. Just didn't always make sense to me. Our copyright laws are bulln many senses
