You are basically paying people willing to give up their bodies to fight cage match style.

We know the outcome of prolonged NFL play.

It is basically high level paid bum fighting

Hottest take of my life

You sound like someone who doesn't like sports. I like football because I like the game and its entertaining to watch. I don't think like this.. "oh I'm totally paying to see some guys get brain damage, what bunch of idiots ha! it'll be awesome"- That would be a really shitty way of thinking about the game I love.

And when the bums can't fight any longer, we call for the next man up, throwing them on the trash heap of life where they belong. I don't care about them.

Ultimately this is what will kill football--at least as we know it. I know more than a few of old-school traditional guys who aren't letting their sons get involved in the game. And I'm talking guys who are big-time football fans. Football at the college and professional level is already justifiably going softer due to grievous injuries, and the CTE scandal isn't going away. As more guys age out and the testing becomes more precise, expect numbers of diagnosed cases to balloon.

Speaking only for myself, I just don't have a lotta things to get motivated about or enjoy in this world. I love my football on Saturday and Sunday and I'm not giving it up.

How many people would fly head-first into another player if they didn't have a helmet? Maybe less protective gear is an option? I mean, the sport would still be violent, but maybe there'd be some restraint on certain types of collisions, particularly from the neck up. I dunno, are there any CTE studies from ex rugby players?

From a branding standpoint 'tho, it'd be a tough sell, because quite frankly, those helmets are a good look...

They make enough money and earn enough glory to where 99% of the population would swap places with them in a heartbeat. These guys can get dimes who would never look in your general direction at the snap of a finger.



That's how.
