I absolutely agree. Since I have a English born grandson who lives in Bristol UK I have come to my senses and call it football and American football.
Mostly because it pisses off the fans of American football.
The NFL has jumped the shark and who wants their kids playing football. The concussion issue isn't going away anytime soon. #boycottNFL ... I have not watched a game in 3 years.

With the youth football participation rates dropping as they are in some areas of the country the OP may well be correct.
I don't get the appeal of soccer, they kick the ball around for a couple of hours and if more than one goal is scored it's considered a high scoring shootout.
Boring as hell

There are guys in the NFL who picked up Football like their JR year of high school.
Youth football doesn’t matter.
Kids will still want to plays in High school.

The cost to insure players at the youth and high
school levels will kill the feeder system to college and the NFL. Without taxpayer support at the lower
levels the game becomes less popular. Basketball,
baseball, soccer , and other sports can survive without taxpayer support. Football can’t.

Actually, it would be pretty damn cool if we could go all in on soccer and compete against the likes of Brazil and Germany.

Baseball is actually a dying sport.

So Football will disappear and Faggies will never see their mediocre program win anything of note. This is true even if Football keeps going also of course,
All white teams of 1760 don’t count. That’s a different sport so don’t even try.

I'm not betting on the future of football based on an opinion piece in the damn Chicago Tribune.

This was always inevitable. As we grow smarter, we realize soccer is the greatest game in the world and will all be playing soon.

I’ve seen some bad stuff, as a player and fan. Had two for sure concussions (once hospitalized), probably several more. Saw other players have worse. Saw one teammate knocked out cold and landed on his back. He started throwing up and choking. Nobody, including the coaches, knew what to to. One grabbed his belt and started pulling up like they used to do when we got our breath knocked out. There was no such thing as trainer. Luckily one dad was an EMT and ran out and rolled the kid over so he didn’t choke on his vomit. If the kid had a broken neck, he’d probably be paralyzed or worse.
I’ve seen broken necks, broken limbs (3 for me), teeth, severe concussions where a player had to stay in the hospital for 3 days and a dark room for 3 weeks. Permanently pinched neck and back nerves. Permanently damaged knees and ankles. I have a deformed finger(even after surgery) and a bad neck and ankle. Can’t rememer shite, probably due to the concussions.
Football’s a brutal sport. I didn’t let my sons play. Thankfully they excelled in other sports and didn’t want to.
Athletes are bigger, faster, and hit harder than ever. I think football will lose its fan base in 5-10 years. The NFL sooner. I don’t watch it anymore. Even college has lost some luster with all the TV, Nike, showboating & replay stuff.
The game is losing the middle class. And no sport survives that. Better learn to like soccer and lacrosse. That’s where we’re headed.
