Dr Bennet Omalu | Full Address and Q&A | Oxford Union 

I’m forever thankful for Dr. Omalu. He preformed the autopsy on my niece who was killed in 2017. His findings revealed so much and helped us bring justice. Once again, Thank you! 🙏🏻

Dr. Omalu, Thank you for your courage, humbleness, perseverance , and determination to remind me to embrace our unique selves as a partaker and a contributor to humankind. You gave me the wake up call and a light bulb went off in my head to press on and continue to complete my MBA in Healthcare Administration and press on in FAITH... Thanks

Truly magnificent speaker. Thought provoking in the extreme!

I'm so happy this came up in my YT feed! I needed to hear this, as a science major, a depression survivor, and as a human trying to fit into society and find success (most importantly). Profound words Dr. Omalu!

Dr. Omalu is wrong. He is not an ordinary man. Authentic, yes. Courageous, yes. But not ordinary. Thank you, Dr. Omalu.

Wow , doctor you are really blessed and You are a perfect model to the new generation, and spiritual enrichment

An incredible, resilient speaker of truth. Truly inspirational.

I found this talk rewarding & confirming, thank you Bennet. “There is one truth”, in general Bennet I found you to be adopting a position that has the same direction of travel as my own stance. To signal my slight divergence, my opinion adopts the view that faith extends further than its anthropocentric usage & also that energy flow in humans often referred to as ‘Spirit’ can trace its roots right back into the pre-life (inert) & pre-matter universe. Note :- I believe I have faith, I feel I have spirit. I am of the opinion all deities should be confined to history. Humanity is in its adolescent phase, moving from the childish pursuit & discovery of ourselves maturation period. Now substantially enrolled (but not completely) into our adult phase guided not from within, but from our understanding of the discovered truths.

A humble man for all seasons.

Absolutely fantastic. I didn't even realise who he was or what he was doing at Oxford Union until he brought up Will Smith but I was captivated from the beginning. He definitely didn't need to worry about having to refer to his notes either 😂

Fantastic speech! Very inspirational!

Iv literally watched 2 minutes of this and all I can see is an intelligent humble man, he deserves a lot more credit than he’s giving himself. What a gentleman

Wow....This Guy Dr Omalu is a wonderful and humble person.

He’s so Amazing!!

Real life Jar Jar Bings, may the force continue to protect him from all the hate in the world

Dr. Omalu did his job and went beyond the call of duty. If Dr. Omalu just did the usual autopsy and did the physical examination of Mike Webster's brain instead of putting samples on the slide to determine CTE then the CTE scandal of the NFL maybe would not see the light of day. Thankfully, Dr. Omalu went with his intuition and the rest is history. The sad fact is if you play a contact sport like football, hockey, MMA, or whatever, you got a higher risk of developing a long term brain injury. The fact is that it's the risk of the playing those sports.

Thank you DR. Omalu 🙏🧘‍♂️🙏🧘‍♂️🙏🧘‍♂️🙏

Powerful speech!

5:13 I struggled with depression all my life.... I must have done something right to get this video.

Inspiring!

Soooo glad I found this speech!!

You are a great man and a very insightful scholar I am grateful for your work and your research. Your studies will improve the lives of many people. Thank you from Italy. Take care sir!

Great mind ♥️♥️♥️

Dr Omalu is quite right about children not needing to head a ball, both from a medical and sporting perspective. For children under the age of fifteen, it is far more beneficial for them to play short five- or six-a-side games in which the ball is not allowed to rise above shoulder height. In doing so it produces players that have a far greater competency and confidence with ball control leading to better team play. I believe that for children learning to play American-style NFL football there is a non-contact form of the game called Flag Football.

Ur name speak for itself sir Omalu , if u know teach ! Inspirational that u are beyound amazing and they are trying to put you down for their own selfish interests. May God of the universe keep u . Iseeeeeeeee 🙇🏿‍♀️. Captivated by ur speech 💬.

And sometimes we complain about our lives, when compared to this guy is almost a paradise.

Dr.omalu we need to get you your own TV show and you should apply for a seat for Public health, CDC, Health department or something of your field or even Director or Facilitator. Move up Dr.Omalu, I'll pray for you. I hope you move up, we need you doing gods work since there are so many demons and people who are letting the devil win.

Thank you Dr Omalu! This is a beautiful message, I just watched the concussion I had never heard of any of this and I'm so glad that God showed you this CTE because as you said common sense it wasn't on your side but it was in the people's side how better to show USA than through the NFL because if you looked at battered women or prostitutes with mean pimps who cares about them football players are different I, being a battered woman, would like to donate my brain to see if I might have CTE I know for sure of 3 bad concussions the latest was 5 yrs ago my right ear has had a hum ever since my right eye is bad and I don't recognize myself anymore the depression sometimes gets unbearable but suicide is not an option because God says thou shalt not kill one of the big 10. Anyway thank you again for being strong enough to tackle football!

Fantastic

How did I miss this speech until now?

That guy to the left in front row texting with his phone in his hand is being very rude!! 😒

We're in church now. And the congregation say Amen!!!!

I'm here after watching Will Smith's movie on Dr Bennet Omalu...Who else?

EXELENTE DR. PODRÍAN PONER TRADUCCIÓN A ESPAÑOL. DESDE 🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷🙌🙌🙏🙏

Brave souls such as Dr. Bennet Omalu are poking holes in the MATRIX, the prison of all CREATIVITY........THE PRISON OF DIVINE CONSCIOUSNESS.🙏

And what you said about a cure for cancer a Dr in Houston knows it the AMA ( last I heard) won't release it in fact I hear they were going to try to take away his license very sad but I knew 1 of his patients in 1982 she was cancer free last time I saw her in 1997 riding motorcycle and mother of 2

We are seeing challenges to the idea that brain damage is permanent, but overall, he is amazing!

You should write a book.

I saw that Movie, I idolized Justin Strzelczyk, Mike Webster and Terry Long. That you for telling the truth Doctor. By the way I know your brother-in-law, Keith.

You don’t need a cure, you only need prevention, avoiding contact in certain sports, whether it is contact with the ball or another player. There’s a lot of measures that could be implemented that would reduce it. Change how certain sports are played, in soccer protect the keeper more by giving a foul every time he is touched as a lot of times players just barge into them, stop heading the ball, as a lot of collisions happen when players try to head the ball and crash into one another. I don’t know a lot about US football but maybe they should change the way kids train? Make it easier on the body with some rule changes, however I really don’t know enough about it… I practiced Karate for seven years from age 11 until age 18, however the Shotokan Karate rules are no contact in kumite, of course you do occasionally get hit in training in the Dojo but in competitions you get disqualified if you hit an opponent, I also practiced Judo for 3 years earlier in my life and I hit the tatami a lot of times, sometimes I used to feel dizzy and confused for hours after practice. Once I was slammed quite heavily and had headaches, mood swings, trouble concentrating and irritability for days. I now practice Kendo and although we wear protection on the head, the helmet called Men (I typed it as we pronounce it in Italian), which offers a lot of shielding on the frontal area as long as you keep your head high and look your opponent in the eyes, if lower your head you can get hit beyond the wooden front, which is not as well protected as the rest of the head and that hurts. One girl at my Dojo collapsed after being hit by the strongest fella in the Dojo with his shinai. The hit was so strong it actually damaged the guy’s shinai. Okay it was a 25 euro practice shinai from Decathlon but still it takes a strong hit to break a part of one even a cheap one.

Please do a autopsy on OJ Simpson

The resistance to accept the dangers of high impact sports is beyond dangerous. Rugby, hockey, wrestling, kickboxing, America football, mixed martial arts all need to be made safer by modifying the rules as well as protecting better the players. I now study neuroscience, but I have loved sports all my life. The sports industry should protect their 'assets', instead of treating gifted human beings as expandable commodities.

Will Smith fucked his whole accent up in the generalized African accent in Hollywood

He needs a 3 hour JRE with joe make it happen asap!

This the reason why I never like those bullying sports .

'Amazing' how an English man strategically avoids talking about RUGBY!!!

Why does he keep saying jungles of Africa 😂😂😂😂

Why does he sound weird 🤣
