What are your thoughts on the future of the NFL?  Where is the line between the hits we love and the health of the athletes?

 

With players like Megatron retiring at an early age, its clear some players don't think it is worse the risk.

I think you'll see more players retiring early. Cashing in and calling it a career after a few years. Heck, we've already seen that.

I'd like to see them go back to less padding and no helmets. That's probably the best way to protect their heads. Make them stop using them.

interesting idea, arch. 

 

i wonder what kind of concussion rates they have in rugby or aussie rules football.

You are assuming there is anything inside an Aussie's head that would be injured by blunt trauma.

as long as the cool spoken accent part is safe, i don't have feelings one way or the other about all the rest.

I think football will be dead as a major sport in 25 years

That would also make the game considerably less exciting. There's a reason why no one cared about football until the 70s
