There's more going on than just the far-left politics. (1) The ridiculous 15-yard penalties for players opening their mouths (same penalty as outright assault). (2) The realization that the bigger and more high-tech the helmets, the more the brain injuries. (3) The incompetent referees, I could name names but I'll refrain from that. Anyway, football will die over the next generation because parents won't let their sons play it. Someone is going to get stuck with those multi-billion dollar stadiums.
