Some movies I watched during my vacation in Malaysia.

Captain America (Civil War): This one is way better than the rest.
The Nice Guys: Enjoyed every moment of it. Russell and Ryan were awesome and funny.
The Jungle Book: Loved it.
Race: WTF was that?
Concussion: Now I know why I never liked the NFL.

By what logic?

They're corrupt and self-serving and don't give a shit about people's health - whether it's the players' health or the people building the stadiums for their tournaments. Sure, there hasn't been a situation in (european) football similar to the concussion one in the NFL (for obvious reasons), but I'm not confident that FIFA would have handled a situation like that better.

Well thank you for proving my point right then :D

My whole point was about how dangerous the American Football is and its fans can't see it because they enjoy watching it. I was happy about the movie for proving something isn't right about this sport. I didn't compare or meant that FIFA is better or anything close to it.

Didn't know you were a long time advocate for the banishment of american football. :D It just sounded like you didn't like the sport and were happy that the movie gave you another reason for disliking it. My reason for bringing up FIFA and UEFA was just to show that people watching (european) football too ignore unpleasant details because they enjoy watching the sport.

The problem with the concusssion problem is that it makes the sport in itself very flawed - in the case of football it's only the organisations that are massively corrupt and shady, nothing wrong or harmful with the activity itself.

Football's problem can be fixed (theoretically), and there's nothing wrong with it as a mass sport for the youth. With American Football, not so much.
