Millions of people have quit the NFL. America can survive without football.

That doesn’t mean they’ve turned their backs on high school or college ball.

"Fedora believes that rule changes involving the physicality of the game will make football "unrecognizable" within ten years."

Our family also. We stopped watching NFL.

I prefer high school games in the stands. Inexpensive, often great fans, and running games are more fun to watch.

Right. Who cares if your star player is a thug as long as he wins.

Will anyone watch a flag football game in a billion dollar stadium?
Will any network cover a flag football game in a stadium paid for by tax payers?
In the fwiw dept, football is a collision sport and it feels good to collide.

IF the Ncaa would grow some cahonnes as well as the nfl, and strictly enforce rules against HGH and steroids and whatever else the connivers can think up to make humans unhumanly strong and aggressive, then perhaps football can be played like it was 50 yrs ago without as many injuries..

Enjoy college while you can. If the NFL goes the way of the dodo and no other league comes along to replace it, good luck finding teams of talented dim wits to risk their necks playing a game that won’t lead to a big payday. It’s not like most of them are there for an education.

The collisions are what will end football as we know it. Too many concussive impacts destroy the long nerves(axons) that keep the nervous system functioning properly.
To: EdnaMode
It’s survived me not caring about any kind of football since the early 80s.
Same for all the rest of sports.

I have had a theory going for about ten years now:
In high school, lacrosse will replace football as the contact sport of choice for middle and upper clas families.
The reasons are:
1) boys crave contact sports
2) there are comparatively fewer head injuries
3) moms are being brainwashed that every football player will be paralyzed or get a concussion.
It has been playing out before my eyes. Its happening.
That said, they are pussifying my beloved amateur sport too. If my players from 10-15 years ago played todays players they would dominate unless they played by todays rules.

They just need to get back to fundamental techniques for blocking and tackling as well as diversify the rosters JUST A LITTLE BIT!
As it is now, its pretty much just kill the white boy.

Me too. Until they ruin that too. It's getting there. I'm at the point where I look forward more to the English Premier League than College Football. (Of course the Gators sucking ever since 2010 may have something to do with that)
