I've said it before. The game of football, as currently played, does not have a future.

Too damaging to brains. Too violent.

I suspect that the same parents that wouldn't allow their kid to play boxing, will over time rethink whether it is wise to play football. Moreover, the liability of schools, rec leagues, universities will be huge. I expect a class action suit from former college football players against universities, seeking redress regarding injuries and disability.
