... another example of how the wussified NFL is ... going along with the people seeking to kill it.

So true, when the sport is sanitized to the point of unwatchability, something will replace the NFL just as MMA/UFC has replace boxing.

...something will replace the NFL...

I think the problem is that it is already happening. I dumped TV in ‘97 but am, of course, exposed to it from time to time. I as at my son’s house in Chicago a year ago and they had a football game on. I was amazed at the “fake” line markings on the field added through video imagery, and the floating camera above the field.

But the amount of commercial breaks killed it for me. Once I got over the new tech, I went into the other room and played video games with my grandson. Professional sports are dead to me.

That said, my wife and I are going to a Louisville Bats game today. The minors are a lot more fun to watch live, which is the only way to do it.

Yeah, but there is an infrastructure of $$ here (stadiums, team investments) that is worlds away from boxing.
