‘Concussion’ comes to theaters, football team split on if they’ll watch

One week after Star Wars: The Force Awakens made more than $500 million on its opening weekend, Concussion hit theaters in time for Christmas Day movie-goers.

While members of the Chippewa football team don’t have much free time before the Dec. 28 Quick Lane Bowl, they had varying sentiments on if they’d watch the Will Smith drama, based off a true story.

Head Coach John Bonamego said he plans on seeing the film at some point, although has a few reservations.

“I am (going to see it), just because I’d like to get some of the backstory on it,” he said.
