"Instead of focusing on player safety and the dangers of a concussion, the NFL should focus on the quality of the game."

The State Of Football Impacts Every NFL Fan

by Chris Schisler

"The biggest problem the NFL has is that its biggest problem has no solution. The NFL has tried to enforce “player safety rules” but the number of concussions went up in the 2015 season. Football is a gladiator sport, where the biggest, strongest and fastest athletes collide on every single play. Football is a contact sport. Danger comes with it.

Instead of focusing on player safety and the dangers of a concussion, the NFL should focus on the quality of the game. Football fans should not be more frustrated with how the game is managed than how their team manages to perform. Somewhere along the line the NFL forgot that they were an entertainment based business.

By focusing on concussions and player safety the NFL is fighting a losing battle. By embracing the fact that football is inevitably going to lead to a random allotment of injuries to the brains and bodies of football players, they can focus on the quality of the game. Taking the fun out of football is more damaging than lawsuits can be. The lawsuits are inevitable, the public backlash is inevitable, the sad stories of retired players are inevitable.

As long as the masses spend their money to go to games, wear NFL merchandise and watch the NFL on television, the bottom line of the NFL will be filled with plenty of cash. Fans are fed up with the NFL right now but are so emotionally invested in their team. They’re not going anywhere for now."
