re: Is football dying?

I haven't watched an entire NFL game this season.

The last rule change regarding personal fouls for just hitting too hard was the last straw.

I thought it would be harder to give up, but it was surprisingly easy.

I quit the NBA (except the playoffs) when they outlawed hand-checks and re-legalized the zone.

That was really, really easy.

I may have to start watching baseball, until they start outlawing double plays or pitching too fast.

I get the player safety arguments, I really do. . .but the safer game is just plain unappealing.

I used to cheer big hits. Now you watch the ref to see if it was too hard. It's absurd.
