One thing that is bothersome regarding the safety issue is at the youth league, high school, middle school. We just had a second player die on the practice field this year yesterday:

The other one died about a month ago. I have a regular hook up and she refuses to let her 12 year old play youth football. She made that decision this pass year. So it starting to affect the youth league and if that happens, it would have a significant impact to the league. You know the media blows stuff up and this is a hot topic.
NFL has a lot of work to do with safety, ashame they waited so long to approach it.
