The NFL will likely continue to have rule changes, and rule "emphasis" changes that will keep making the sport less dangerous. I'm not a big fan of these changes either, but when everyone is complaining about the pussification of the NFL, just remember (1) lawsuits, and (2) early retirements.
In 10 or 20 years, the NFL could be pretty different from what we see today.

Baseball? Not really. Baseball hey day is long since in the rear view mirror. It's way too slow and boring for the younger generations, and young, talented American athletes tend to go into other sports, which is party of why pro baseball is increasingly dominated by athletes who weren't born in the US.

They are going to suck. Last in their division is my prediction.

isn't this stuff an issue in all contact sports?
I wonder if soccer players get concussed when heading the ball. taking a bunch of elbows to the melon in MMA has to have an effect

dead league walking?
No way. As long as there are millions for players to be made, people will risk the long term for the short term. Eventually, the players are going to have to concede to sign a waiver when they enter the league. No way around it. |
