Omalu no destapó nada, pero nada de nada... pero claro, como han sacado Concussion (que es un PUFAZO de pelicula para dejar bien a la NFL, le pueden preguntar a Oliver Stone* sobre lo que pasa con los derechos de la NFL, nombres y demas... %) )
Pero sin embargo... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concussions_in_American_football#Concussions_in_the_National_Football_League The NFL first began to review the subject formally in 1994, then NFL Commissioner Paul Tagliabue approved the creation of the Mild Traumatic Brain Injury (MTBI) Committee with the stated goal of studying the effects of concussions and sub-concussive injury in NFL players. Tagliabue appointed rheumatologist Dr. Elliot Pellman to chair the committee.[4] Pellman's appointment was met with harsh criticism, because he is not a neurologist or neuropsychologist and often admitted ignorance about head injuries.[4]
The same year, the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) reported a statistically significant increase in the risk of neurological disorders such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) in retired football players, which furthered public knowledge about the risk of long-term neurocognitive disease related to repeated head impacts.[5] Despite the NIOSH study, Pellman and the MTBI Committee drew their own conclusions that continued to contradict these findings and those of other organizations. Biomechanical engineers and neurosurgeons informed the Committee that the helmet safety standard at that time was insufficient to minimize the risk of concussions.
La NFL llevaba ya 8 años "investigando" (a su manera) sobre las conmociones y las consecuencias de estas.

Con un minimo de google:

Omalu's autopsy of former Pittsburgh Steelers center Mike Webster in 2002 led to Omalu's discovery of chronic traumatic encephalopathy, or CTE.
