Well, if that happens, which will prevail? Football, basket ball or baseball?
Football, because of gambling.
Football is about to be done in. The variety of damage caused by steroids, HGH, testosterone, speed, meth, cocaine and who knows what is being pinned on ‘concussions’ and, with paid college players and no-limit liability, won’t be recognizable as football in a very few short years.

Sorry for slow reply.
In order for the rich to suffer a similar fate to the Jews in the Holocaust, they would have to fall victim to the government. Considering that they control the government, whether they be liberal or conservative, this would seem to be an impossibility.
My father was a Democrat who believed primarily in helping the downtrodden, not surprising considering what he went through.
I’m honored.
