Adult Fear is now a disambig, and this is misuse which boils down to "listing all the scary stuff without context"

* AdultFear:
** The film's given football players, football fans, and parents of aspiring football players nightmares with its depiction of how one of the world's most popular, beloved, lucrative sports can kill you slowly and painfully without you even realizing it...
** And for the family members. Mike Webster's widow said that if she had known he were sicker, then she would have helped him more. For Justin Strzelczyk's wife, her husband threatened to kill her and her children and put her in a stranglehold before she told him to GetOut.
** You were a team doctor, and now you help former players. Only, you aren't; they're found homeless and mentally ill, begging for help with conditions you don't understand. A coroner finds that football, the game that you enabled them to play, killed them, and it's all your fault.
** You're just a gifted coroner, doctor and MBA student who happens to learn that America's most lucrative past-time is killing its players. Then after publishing an article in a medical journal, you start getting obscene death threats by phone, your boss gets arrested, and you find a great corporation discrediting you.
** In the middle of a stressful pregnancy, someone seems to be following you while driving. You lose them, and then [[spoiler: suffer a miscarriage.]]

* PhlebotinumAnalogy: Dr. Omalu explains to Prima how brain trauma manifests itself in football players by explaining that, unlike animals with built-in "shock absorbers" around their brain, human brains are disconnected from the skull and susceptible to irreparable damage from repeated impacts. To illustrate, he violently rattles an eyeball inside a jar of fluid, with the eyeball slamming violently into the sides of the jar, mimicking what happens to the brain when rattled by a violent hit.

The movie tells the true story of Dr. Bennet Omalu (Smith), a Nigerian-born pathologist based in Pittsburgh who, after conducting an autopsy on the body of former [[NationalFootballLeague Pittsburgh Steelers]] center Mike Webster (who had been suffering from severe physical and mental illness since his retirement), discovers extensive brain damage known as chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) in Webster's brain, presumably as a result of the large number of head injuries he sustained during his career in the NFL.

* HistoricalVillainDowngrade: It would have been easy for Roger Goddell to be TheScapegoat for the NFL's denial. While becoming the central target in the midst of the NFL's horrendous denial in real-life and the film, Goddell is not seen directing a denial policy and is simply just a figurehead to the more general awfulness of the NFL.
