In a worst-case scenario, those tears were the product not of contemplation but of a brain so scrambled it couldn’t control itself. Pseudobulbar affect is a condition that can follow concussions in a minority of patients. Also called emotional incontinence, it involves uncontrollable crying (or, perhaps even more horrifically, laughing) after a traumatic brain injury. The mechanisms aren’t perfectly understood, but they’re believed to result from a disruption of the neural networks that regulate emotion. Tears, in some instances, are every bit the visual indicator as the defensive response that something has gone horribly wrong in the brain.

My thought too. Reminded me of the movie concussion which was one of the scariest movies I have every watched. I don't know what the NFL is going to do but it is clear that it can't remain the same.

Quote from Dr. Andrews:
“It’s a collision sport," Andrews said. "If we started a new sport today and we wrote up the rules and regulations and we called it football, they probably wouldn’t allow it. We’re all trying to do everything we can to make football safer, but that’s the way the sport is: There are always going to be injuries. We’re aware of that, and we’re all working to keep it that way. We want it to continue, believe me."

I agree, Will Smith's affected accent in it gave me nightmares for weeks on end.
