In the grand scheme of things with young men putting their lives on the line to feed their families football is pretty low on the pecking order of shit that needs to be banned . Guys still go down into mines to extract minerals from the ground, still go off to foreign countries to die to save money for the Zikzack corporation and so forth. As long as there are filthy rich people unwilling to put themselves in harms way there will always be not so rich young men willing to do their dirty work for them. The only aspect of football I expect to ever disappear are the huge salaries. Soon as the rich old bastards figure out that they can get dumb young men to do it for free you'll see the end of millionaire players..
