There are warnings about how the concussion problem will put an end to the NFL in about 20 years.

Or change the rules in football. Get rid of the helmet. Minimize the equipment. Max weight = 250 pounds.

I’ve been a proponent of the weight limits for a long time.

Yep. Get rid of the fat boys. I have always hesitated calling 325 pound fat men athletes. It would change the game, but for the better.

And while we are fantasizing, get rid of the thugs... We already have one professional thug sport (i.e. the NBA).
