Finally someone I agree with that has weighed the practicality and reality of the situation, instead of trying to create magical solutions that don't exist today. Outside of cultural interest, people are ignoring the fact of volume of players in the NFL and physical composition of the players. The NFL has more roster spots than the NBA, NHL, MLB, etc. 22 players are required to play both sides of football. That means they need to employ far more people. Also, many of these football athletic people wouldn't be good at other sports. An O-Lineman cannot be expected to play basketball or baseball or soccer. They are 6'7 300 lbs of immovable mass, that's what they are built for. This provides entirely different types of athletic individuals to enter into the lottery. Without any data, I would expect the NFL to have the most diverse forms of "athleticism" from any sport, including something like MMA. Eliminating football entirely doesn't seem like the solution or even realistic to any degree. Instead, let's pay these college players and remove the facade. Make the risks known to the players and let them take that on if they want to. We can also then address the other solutions that people have suggested because both can exist at the same time.
