Title: What does the future hold for the sport of football?
Post by: gatoveintisiete on December 20, 2012, 10:59:26 PM

With all the talk of concussions and their ramifications, will football as we know it exist in 2022?  People are dying, being permanently dissabled and such, Will the President weigh in?

As long as people are making lots of money (always), football will be around.

While everyone is calling for more protective padding, maybe the answer is less, a la rugby. Focus on the technique of tackling rather than launching like a damn missile because you have all the padding on earth.

I think football will be gone pretty damn quick, things changing pretty fast up in this piece.
