FILE - In this Dec. 14, 2015, file photo, Dr. Bennet Omalu, left, and actor Will Smith pose together at the cast photo call for the film &quot;Concussion&quot; at The Crosby Street Hotel in New York. In the trailer for the movie “Concussion,” Will Smith, portraying Omalu, says: “I found a disease that no one has ever seen.” It’s a claim that Omalu, a forensic pathologist, has himself made for years, often even giving a detailed description about how he came to name that disease “chronic traumatic encephalopathy.” But Omalu neither discovered the disease nor named it, according to medical journals and concussion researchers who were interviewed by The Associated Press.
