Sony Pictures is allowing all current and former NFL players (as well as their families) to attend a screening of Concussion for free, so now there's really no excuse for them not to go see it. If they show their NFLPA cards they'll have their tickets comped as a special thanks from the picture studio to the men whose serious brain problems helped spur the movie. Said producers Ridley and Giannina Scott:
Jets Pro Bowl cornerback Darrelle Revis, who already saw the film, discussed the sobering effects of it, saying that it "hits home pretty hard [and] it makes you think about other things," before adding "but at the same time, I think I’ve still got a lot of football to play." This is to say that it possibly didn't hit home quite hard enough.
You too can go catch the film starting this Friday (a.k.a. Christmas). Though you'll, unfortunately, have to reach into your own less substantial wallet to do so.
