The NFL will not be "replaced" by any sport, obviously, but it will erode.

I enjoy the eleven minutes of action scattered throughout every three hour NFL game (I'm not kidding, those are the numbers), but the league will continue to restrict play. Eliminating kickoff returns, concussion reduction mania, etc. will continue to make it less enjoyable.

Fewer and fewer grammar and high schools will be able to afford the insurance to cover liability, and more mothers will object to participation.

Celebrations of Michael Sam's sex life, disputes over naming teams, etc. and other distractions will continue.

Meanwhile, the white Americans who most love the sport care more about it than they do about having enough children to replicate their fandom, apparently.

The fanbase is aging, but soccer's isn't.

A shame for advertisers - the NFL gives them 75 minutes of prime time at every game.

Looking forward to a soccer game filling up a 75,000 seat stadium on a weekly basis!
