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...

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?

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.

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.

This is interesting. Maybe the concessions allowed for the logo use.

“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.”

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?
