The narrative traces Dr. Omalu’s David-vs.-Goliath odyssey, illuminating his role as a forensic neuropathologist who first uncovered football-related brain trauma in a professional player. His relentless battle was not only about revealing the truth behind this devastating condition but also about humanizing the toll taken on athletes in high-impact sports.
