NSSL will replace it -- National Skeet Shooting League.

The NFL will do what it needs to do to continue success. Unlike highly regulated industries, the Feds have left the NFL alone (and other pro sports). The NFL needs to balance entertainment (big legal hits) with asset protection (players). And they can modify their rules once a year or even mid season if necessary without some idiot like Fat Nat involved (imagine the NFL with the equivalent of the Chevy ´Dolt´ as its main attraction). So the NFL will do well as long as the incompetents that make up our goobernment are not involved.

I have a Harrison Bergeron solution. Limit the size of the players. That will reduce the severity of the hits. Weight limit of 170 lbs and height limit of 5´ 9".

I probably watched a grand total of 8 football games this season and if the NFL ceased to exist I could care less. Just give me NCAA Football any day over that prima donna nonsense called the NFL.

Coming from a cheap shot player like himself....yeah, I also hope players like him will be out of a job in the near future and some day the league will mandate repeat offenders cheap shot apoffenders like himself are banned from ever playing agian.

Pollard should be considered the expert in the arena of personal fouls resulting in injury to opposing players.
Does anyone have a list of injuries he has caused?

Sorry but right now I´m too concerned about whether or not my country will be in existence in 30 years to care about the NFL.

I think he´s right - we will see a player die on the field. If bigger and faster is the inevitable future of the athlete, then the laws of physics will insure the outcome. For those fans that can recall what football was like 50 - 40 years ago, the style of tackling has changed dramatically. It´s no longer a tackle, but is rather more similar to an artillery strike to the body of the ball carrier. You rarely see DB´s or LB´s wrapping up a ball carrier and bringing him to the ground, but instead see that DB or LB moving with increasing velocity to hit and stun the ball carrier in order to end the play. The professional game has lost its moral bearing.

The unintended consequence of our highly technological society. 20 years ago a 250lb lineman was a monster. He was also slow and pretty much set in place.

Today that same 250 lb lineman is considered small. And more importantly he is a turtle on a field full of jaguars. Better nutrition, training and genetics has produced humans that should be considered obese giants. But they run the forty in the low eights, packing 40 lbs of gear and barely breaking a sweat.

The technology of the protective gear has not kept up with the advances in the pure size and speed of the players. When an old timer says todays players are "pansies" and how he played with a little leather helmet he is forgetting the players he was up against weighed less than some of these linemans breakfast.

Something will have to change or someone will eventually get killed. You cannot break the laws of physics. And 250 lbs of raw meat moving at 20 MPH hits like a small car. The body can only take so much.

More "Eurofication" of the USA.

Time to re-apply the Declaration of Independence.

Forget the weight limits, just get rid of HGH and steroids. Everybody else tests for it.

This is something that the liberal Democrats would love to get their teeth into, but the problem is that knocking out pro football would in one sense not be politically correct, since just about all those fast 350 lb football players are millionaire black men.

So if the liberal Democrats were to knock out pro football, as it is played today, by say limiting the weight of the players to 180 lbs slow runners, maybe even with a few women thrown in, you would have a lot less black pro football player millionaires, and that would certainly be seen as a liberal Democrat created problem in black communities all over the country.

The NFL fields a bunch of wussies!

Why don´t they go back to the shirt/pants, no pads, no helment play? Make it hurt to hurt others...that will solve the game´s issues. No one is going to spear with their head...except the first time where they break their necks.

Royt! But it will be the Paintball League. And women will make up half of the athletes.
Equality is the goal.
