“This safe-helmet might come....but by the time you figure the cost, and the court fights on high school football, NCAA football, and pro-ball....it’ll be too late. You could be looking at tens of billions to pay off the lawyers and players. TV advertising will never be able to pay enough for the NCAA or NFL to survive this...my humble opinion.”
Lacking the creation of a “safe helmet” which would require a re-write of the laws of physics, the NFL will die from the bottom up. Pee Wee ball participation is already down which will work its way up through middle school, highschool, college, and eventually the NFL. The essence of football is that it is a violent intense game. If this aspect of the game is eliminated the game will die.
White scabs. There’s your answer.
