No offense to anyone but I'm playing until I can't anymore. I love this game to much.
I find it funny that its always the US vs the World when it comes to the soccer disconnect.Soccer?
Pshhhhhh I rather they say **** it and just make kick ball a real sport
My bouncies and rolly pollies used to be clutch

Yes it's cheaper to play but we live in our own bubble in this country. Like nothing else matters outside of the states. We have that mentality. That's why people hate us so much. It's true.We ain't poor over here.
Don't get me started on youth coaches and the lack of actual skill development.But most of all this was avoidable going back that 20 years you brought up. In fact, 20 years ago I was in my 3rd year of playing football and up to that point -- and the many years after that -- they never ever taught tackling by way of helmet to helmet contact or leaving your feet and leading with your helmet. Somewhere the fundamentals are lost as kids get older and with big hits being glorified, but it was definitely avoidable. Basically, there needs to be a shift back to the tackling methods they teach all the way back in pee-wee, but even then...on the NFL level -- with the size, speed and power of these guys -- a lot of contact is simply unavoidable without completely changing the landscape of the game, which we've seen starting to happen for the past 10 years or so and that's without this wave of new understanding on brain damage.Maybe I shouldn't have singled out secondary but what about all the rule changes and points of "emphasis" implemented during our life time alone. Spearing disallowed, hits with the helmet disallowed, hits to the helmet disallowed, defenseless receiver, etc. There's been serious intent to make the game less physical for decades.
I love the game, but I feel like I'd be way too gullible or naive to think that it wasn't in jeopardy.

But I really don't think the game is in jeopardy like that. You said it yourself - the landscape has changed drastically in the last ten years alone yet revenues, viewership, gate attendance, sponsorship and merchandising continue to rise.
Even with all the concussion concerns of the past five years Participation is actually falling at a slower rate than ANY other major sport except for Hockey.
Any changes to the game will continue to be gradual - only the most devote 10% of fans (that's all of us here) will even notice - the game is going nowhere.
Just like how Lebron's arm moves faster than a helicopter blade when he dunks
Its a factoid without context
Would you take one 1st for him/his contract?Would the Browns give up their 2 1st for Megatron?
I forgot where I read it, but I remember it being brought up years ago.
Remember when warren sapp took out that Green Bay OL and the dude was ****** up?
They said that impact was the equalavent of a minor car crash.
Borland etiring after one season when he didn't even have concussion problems? I don't get it. Props to him for foregoing a potential stellar career but I think he's too soft. Can't even say he set himself up for life because how much did he really make.
Like what the others said, the NFL won't be affected. Many others willing and waiting for the shot to replace him.
