Do you think the NFL could lose its status as most popular league in America?

NFL didn't even merge until the 69's. Back then Football wasn't even very popular. Back then ticket sales accounted for almost 60 percent of football's total revenue; today broadcast contracts account for about half of the revenue.

Also, the OP was about being "most popular" NOT people just stop watching.

My point is that new rules to soften the game are hardly a new concept.  People keep acting like putting player safety on a priority list is some sort of brand new slap in the face to fans.  It's not.
