At 72, I have to say that God has been better to me than I deserve. I still play rec basketball 2 to 4 times a week. My left knee is arthritic to a small degree, my right a little less, but they bother me more while running more than a couple of miles (repetitive motion) than playing ball.
My father is 65 and he's pretty active. Fortunately, he never played football growing up.
This is what Joe Montana said, “Unfortunately,’’ he said, “most of us leave this game with things that linger.’’
Not sure when football will cease to exist but it probably won't be around in 20, 25 years.
Sure, there might be some form of football that will still exist, but it will be more like boxing today. It will no longer be a mainstream sport played by millions of Americans (flag football doesn't count).
