I wonder if football is headed for the same fate as boxing, with interest slowly dwindling until it's more or less a fringe sport? I have loved this game for decades, so I can only hope some forward-thinking individuals are able to rectify these issues and keep the game as popular as it is.
I always thought that it was ironic that in football we want to prevent concussions. Where in boxing/MMA the object is to cause concussions.
