I think it’s probably right, or close to right.

And while I think everybody has to pick their poison, and any kid with a shot at millions should take it, NFL football will die on the vine unless there’s a fix.

I think the problem is collision velocity (which is the TV product). Live games are great at almost any level, but only NFL-level athletes can produce the spectacular hits that make up highlight reels.

“Safer” helmet designs make it worse, by protecting the skull better, thus allowing more concussions.

I’m not sure there’s a fix that will preserve the TV revenue.

And yet the fight game, boxing... hey this is the darling of the Leftists. No need to step in there...

This is a red neck sport. It kills the Left to see it so popular.

This is the global warming of sports.
