The other day I heard Chris Collinsworth on a talk show and they asked him about the concussion/head injury issue. Collinsworth said he could see this leading to the end of the sport at the high school level. He said that the NFL can afford the lawsuits and to a certain extent so can colleges, but let a high school get hit with a lawsuit and you will see school boards shutting down the sport completely. Also heard a sociology prof state that football will become what he called a ghetto sport in the near future as more and more parents tell their kids they can't participate in the game. Just curious what y'all think.
