There was a short story in Playboy, back in the 70’s, about “the last Superbowl” ... probably set in the 90’s, I’d guess. Football had been superseded by electronic simulations, which captured the public allegiance. So this last game was played in the rain with a heroic goal line stand and everything.

Interesting, I would love to read it sometime. BTW, I remember one Sports Illustrated did an article on football in the year 2000 back in 1979/80 where they were predicting power assisted suits to make you run faster, HUD's in the helmets, radios in the helmets, etc.
