I really don't get your attitude. Based on what we know now, the NFL is simply unethical. Why not have gladiators fighting to the death for entertainment? These guys are being destroyed by this, "sport." How long do you think they can continue with business as usual before the populace decides it is ethically untenable?
We don't allow cock fighting. Michael Vick was jailed for his participation in dog fighting. Yet we have human beings slowly destroying their brains for entertainment.
I don't know if the NFL can retain its appeal if it gets reduced to flag football but I very much doubt if it can survive without some form of major change.
Oh don't get me wrong. Re read my post, I said I get it. And even without concussions every injury ads up in costs. It is a violent contact sport for sure.
