No More Football?

Grantland thinks about how litigation and safety concerns could be the end of the sport. I don't see this as likely, but it isn't totally out of the question.

This would be a much bigger issue than the article argues. The implication would be more than economic. It would be spiritual. It would be a signal about what type of society we are choosing to be: one that values safety and health over competitiveness and bravery and physical toughness. Maybe that would be a better society...I personally doubt it.
