re: I believe football is dying.

It is certainly declining. This topic was discussed at work recently. Growing up the HS team I played for yielded 80 to 90 players every year throughout the 80's today they have 60 players in a good year. The interest is just not there like it used to be. Kids have more options in front of them to choose from and a great many of hem feel it takes too much time and effort to play the sport. Idiot parents have ruined the youth programs here. They have to hire off duty policemen to be present at the youth basketball games because of the parents.
