The talk about concussions didn’t come out of nowhere. The Powers That Be want football eliminated. It’s a long march and has many angles to it, but they want it ended.

I'm thinking the NFL will eventually evolve to become "tag" football.

I used to pay tag football in the church parking lot on Sunday afternoons. On a concrete parking lot. It's fun to play when you don't have to worry about being tackled. But sometimes, I still get "tagged" pretty hard and sometimes I fall down. But I get back up and keep playing. Playing tag football in the grass will be even more fun.

To answer the question in the headline, it will look like soccer.

Napster as a reference doesn’t exactly solidify the argument.

What Would the End of Football Look Like?

Soccer, if we don't roll back the third-world invasion.

I think what you might see with football is what has happened with boxing: Fewer and fewer white guys will even go into it. There are better ways to make a living--including safer ways of using your athletic ability--than getting multiple brain injuries and ending up crippled and in a mental fog in your fifties.

The decline of football doesn't bother me so much, because I've always been more of a baseball fan. I used to watch the NFL more in the '60s, '70s, and '80s, but not so much the last couple of decades. Haven't watched many games at all in the last ten or twelve years.

What’s wrong with splitting the league by weight? Maybe make a 250-lbs and under and a 251-lbs and over. It seems that the concussions come from 300-lbs+ guys hitting the much lighter guys.

It’s over for me. They are wildly overpaid and have gotten increasingly politicized. The NFL is a big part of the circus , as in “give them bread and circuses”. They are a tool and a profit center of the Ruling Elite.

This blog was written over 3 years ago and football is more popular now than it was then. It isn’t going anywhere.

PC may change the NFL as long as they allow it, but even the NFL could disappear and few would care after about 5 years. The high school year is built around football — homecoming, marching band competition, sponsorships, etc. College football is more popular than ever and if they ever get a REAL playoff, it will explode. How many people don’t have at least ONE school they can root for (whether they attended or not). My wife is sometimes more excited about watching college football than I am (at least, my school), and routinely has the NFL on if the Cowboys are playing.

The NFL died with artificial turf and coaches calling the plays. It’s a socialist, barbaric mess. It’s spectacle, not sport. It’s going back to it’s roots - a sport for desperate, poor kids. Like boxing.
