Yep, that's why they selectively choose who they're going to "punish" (ie: Big Bad Evil Mean Tom Wilson) They could end the head hits and concussion threat almost instantly if they wanted to, but they know the ratings and ticket sales would plummet.. (see: NoFunLeague)

The NFL's ticket sales have plummeted because of the spoiled rich athletes protesting during the anthem. Which oddly is yet one more thing the media in this country has perpetuated. Before kaeperdick started taking a knee while wearing his cops are pigs socks, the broadcasts never showed the anthem ceremony except for the super bowl. Only after the stupid protests started did the media start showing it on tv. The players then jumping up and down and throwing themselves on the floor over the leagues meager attempt to institute the same rule the nba has had for 20 years didn't help either. The protests have largely disappeared this year, though not entirely, because tv said they would stop showing it on tv

That's true! But their ratings and attendance had already started down hill years before that, when they ruled you can no longer: hit the qb, hit a defenseless receiver, make head contact, this is a catch but that's not, the ball broke the plane but you didn't buy a ticket, we're charging you for that extra bad of luggage, etc.. :rofl:

four years of high school and two years of college football, I recall being fairly proud of the gouge marks in my helmet. Those came from leading with the head, which even back then we were told not to do, wink wink, because if you keep leading with your head I'm gonna half to keep telling you not too

Hilarious Mick! It’s stunning to see how the overall demise is totally interconnected, over time!
So many common threads through all of our major sports!
Media now seems to spend SO much airtime, continually attempting to “re-educate” us, (mostly the older crowd), as to what defines “GOOD PLAY”, or performance! Hell, just pick any of the major sports!
[size=78%] When that fails/failed, they turn to unnecessary drama creation. Hyping up the significance of any game situation, in order to make the ordinary look special! This, in turn, elevates a good play, to the spectacular, and a weekly excellent play, to damn near HISTORIC! It’s as shameful as it is painfully obvious![/size]

This dynamic in sports media, inherently depends on the younger crowds lack of past sports reference, The koolaid is drank, and the media is all too happy, every season, to mix powder, sugar, and water, in slighter, subtle dilution, year by year by ever-souring year!!
Ok, enough rant again. Gotta get un-frustrated before Montréal this Thursday!
