I understand where you guys who think this is the beginning of the end for football are coming from, but I don't see it happening. 100 years ago players were literally dying on the field and football didn't go anywhere. Keeping in mind that back then football was essentially a niche sport compared to what it is today, I just can't see how the end of football is upon us. If it could survive player deaths when it didn't have widespread popularity, I don't see how it will collapse now that it is the country's most popular sport by far. The game will adjust and continue to thrive, just like it did then. I'm not saying it won't look drastically different in 50 or 100 years, but American tackle football in some form will always be around IMO.
