Will anyone watch a flag football game in a billion dollar stadium?

Will any network cover a flag football game in a stadium paid for by tax payers?

In the fwiw dept, football is a collision sport and it feels good to collide.

The collisions are what will end football as we know it. Too many concussive impacts destroy the long nerves(axons) that keep the nervous system functioning properly.

I have had a theory going for about ten years now:

In high school, lacrosse will replace football as the contact sport of choice for middle and upper clas families.

The reasons are:
1) boys crave contact sports
2) there are comparatively fewer head injuries
3) moms are being brainwashed that every football player will be paralyzed or get a concussion.

It has been playing out before my eyes. It’s happening.

That said, they are pussifying my beloved amateur sport too. If my players from 10-15 years ago played today’s players they would dominate — unless they played by today’s rules.
