[Football1]

You're more than 5 times as likely to end up in a wheelchair from your morning drive to work/school than by playing sports. Players and families have to realize how dangerous the game is and then make an educated decision on whether or not the risk is worth the long-term effects. To most it's worth it, but to others not so much.

I agree.

That said, I still believe the game could be saved if fans would be willing to tolerate a less risky thus less violent flavor of the game. Likely, that will never happen. And even more likely, the game will end up as a part of American history and not its future. Time will tell.
