    Watering down of the game has been ongoing for years, IMO. Remember when the rules changed so that you couldn't touch the QB anymore? IMO, that was a more dramatic change than the DB changes now (which were actually already on the books but not enforced as they are now). I hate the kickoff rule as well.

    None of these rules come close to creating disinterest for me like the Titans being irrelevant.

    Love the NFL.

    The game changes it always has.

    CFB is experiencing the same shift in rules and player safety issues.


    I think the NFL and CFB are about to enter their own "dark age" that the NBA and MLB went through in the past decade or so. Even the NHL did to a certain extent.

    MLB hasn't necessarily recovered like the NBA did.


    We talk about what is going on in the NFL but it is going to be so much worse in CFB. The ball is just starting to roll there.

    UAB shutting down their football program is the dead canary in the mine. Many more will fold over the next decade.

    Kids calling for unions, pay, benefits etc while the NCAA continues to attack players for selling their own name.

    What the NFL going through is going to look like heaven compared with what is coming down the road for CFB.

    I'd prefer my kids role models to have little to no criminal activity. And NFL players are that, regardless of if they want to be or not.

    Players should be able to make money selling their autograph, and at the very least should never be suspended

    None of that even takes into consideration of the demographic changes that are occurring in America and will in the next 2-30 years.

    Is the MLS public? Can I invest?

    Soccer is gaining popularity already. I heard more about FIFA this year than ever before. We had a long conversation at work where the soccer fans were complaining about how long football games are, and they are right. You have, MAYBE 30 minutes of actual action in a football game.
