NFL can do as they please. I haven't watched a game since the kneeling started. First few weeks was a challenge to not at least check the scores, but I got over it. Same as when I quit Skoal. That first week was brutal, then I got past it. There is a lot more to life than the NFL.

Also when the refs started protecting the QB’s the way they do. Why all these modern day passing records are a joke. Johnny Unitas and Fran Tarkenton actually had to be football players.

I'm ok protecting the QB. Steve Young couldn't play again after one big hit. NFL denied how dangerous concussions were most of it's history. One a QB starts running with the ball, ok now you can tackle him.

If they can just learn a few lessons from the other sports (and I don't know why baseball stupidly decided to adopt BLM), then they'll find that fans are not interested in politics mixing with sports.

Football is a barbaric male dominated contact sport. The game needs to evolve to modern times. My proposed changes:

1. Less competitive
2. Social distancing/no tackles
3. Cheerleaders and players should be of all genders/more diverse and not sexually demean women
4. The overall feel of the game should be not an intense sport but something where equal opportunity is presented of all different body types and abilities.

I guess in other words the football field should resemble America.

In other words, it should become like professional chess. Meh, I'd be OK with that. Chess is far more civilized than football could ever hope to be, yet it's every bit as competitive. But if the chess players ever succumb to the BLM nonsense, they can count me out.

Not a good comparison. Today's players are bigger, stronger and faster then ever before. If they played today under the rules of the era you reference a QB could get damn near killed.
