It hasn’t lost the NFL any fans. Parents haven’t stopped letting their kids play in droves. And even if they did, the types of kids we’d be losing wouldn’t be missed. Politicians will never ban the game because it would be career suicide. The game is in no danger over this Youth participation is down, ratings are down (even before the politcal stuff), and general public's perception of the league is down.

I'd say youth participation is down given all the new avenues now available to them to become successful in life besides just football. Public perception of the league is down due to the NFL lying to its players about the head trauma they were experiencing (see: Concussion), the lawsuit that preceded it, the political stuff as you mentioned, and the league's double standard of, "player safety" with the implementation of all the new rules designed to protect players (which is isn't doing anything btw) united with the continuation of Thursday night football. People see right through their bs. I would like to see the data that the ratings were down before the national anthem dispute though (as they were obviously down after it). If it was down by any decent margin I believe it has much more to do with the league than the brutality of the game itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Except more then half of QB sneaks are at the goal line where every player on the field is at. There is no where there isn't contact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even the idea that it is wuss parents who dont let them play is hysterically idiotic. There is pro football players now who said they wouldnt let there kid play. So i guess they are simultaneously wusses and tough guys? Maybe just maybe parents dont let them play is because there are hundreds of other sports to play that are safer on every level.

That if you’re good enough to go to college for free and start off at over $400k a year there’s a chance you might have have some memory loss and really bad headaches when you get older?
