Yep. Most sports don’t really have a necessary body type, anybody gifted with the fast twitch muscles and the hand eye coordination could play pretty much any sport, the big question is which one do they enjoy. And they can’t enjoy playing a game they don’t watch, and don’t play. Baseball lost the youth as fans, football is losing them as players. If I had a kid I wouldn’t let them play football, the data coming in on head injuries is just too scary, you just can’t sign your kid up for permanent brain damage. In the end the NFL has only themselves to blame, they’re the ones that pushed the fiction that head injuries didn’t leave permanent damage, and subsequently didn’t push helmet makers for improved designs.
There is no helmet that protects your brain against a concussion. As simple as that.
Works the other way, too. I never played hockey or soccer as a kid, so I don't really get an urge to watch them; can't quite relate to them like football, basketball, etc.
