[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are some valid points hidden in that looney-tune rant,

But people loose all credibility when they say that 'football is dying'

It's not.  It's thriving.  And post-pandemic, youth football participation is increasing.

the game is changing and its locked in as the nation's top sport[/quote]

Talk about losing credibility - you claim that youth participation is increasing when it's declining:

And it will continue to do so - the talent pipeline is drying up as informed parents who understand the real risks to long term brain health opt for more sensible options for sport.

They(NFL) are making a hard pitch for flag football, which I'm sure is increasing, and they are pitching this to woman, which by any measure is welcomed but at the same time only shows how desperate they are.

They game will still need to substantially and fundamentally change more if it is to remain viable in the long term.

PP was correct --- youth participation is up a lot.  That article is not correct.  We had more people starting right after the pandemic than we have had in years.  And I am in the suburbs.

Also flag football is tearing it up both boys and girls.[/quote]
