Football will disappear as more and more young people do not play the sport because of accumulated concussion damage. The brain analysis of Aaron Hernandez was quite stark for someone who died at the age of 28. All that football turned his brain into Swiss cheese.
I completely agree. I think in the long term, that will be football's demise. It's only that this protest is kind of speeding up the process.
Whatever side you are on, you don't tune into watching sports, or any type of entertainment, to continue the divisive arguments you have in your real life; you tune into escape. So we kind of have a perfect storm, brain injuries combined with too much BS when people are looking for an escape.
More interesting question, when/if football dies, what do we do with the left over stadiums?
