I agree, I think football is going to go away. The now apparent risk of brain injury is one reason. But another major factor is political, starting with the kneeling protests. This caused football, like so many other things to split along political lines. Basketball is turning out to be blue, football red. That's an oversimplification, but I think there is some truth to it, especially with respect to the politics of the football team owners that have been made plain for everyone to see. And let's face it, ignoring health because your red tribe demands it, is very much on brand, as we now see with coronavirus.
I don't think football is going to go away soon, but I can easily see it becoming an entertainment primarily for the red part of America.
