Ridiculous. Fisticuffs and Equestrian Racing will always be the two most popular sports in America.

RE: End of the day, Basketball will reign supreme.
I can see this happening. The younger generations are getting softer and softer. If today's 18-24 year olds would have had to fight WWII, we would be speaking German or Japanese. Young men today are wimps. It is a result of the emasculation of American Male. If you are an American Male under the age of 40, chances are you have been pussified and you don't even know it. No discipline anymore, no respect for authority. When Fathers stopped putting foot to a$$, rather when Mothers insisted Fathers stopped putting foot to a$$, kids got fat and lazy.

We have raised a Nation of fat, lazy, undisciplined free loaders. I can see football ending because of it. I give Howard Schnellenberger credit. He saw it coming nearly 30 years ago. At a football coaches clinic in July 1986, Coach Schnellenberger was asked what he thought of soccer. Coach said "Soccer is a communist plot to turn all American males into homosexuals". Those of us in attendance waited for him to laugh, he didn't.

I think the young men serving in our armed services have done a damn fine job in Afghanistan and Iraq, regardless of their civilian counterparts. Let's show these young men some respect. And I'm over 40 before you try to pile me into that group. I served in combat as well, so I take exception to the WWII generation (Our greatest generation IMO) being the only generation defending this country adequately.

There are other factors involved. The great improvements in technology - especially as far as video games and cell phones are concerned - play a large role. No longer wanting to go outdoors and run around or meet with people, instead preferring to stay inside or on their phones all day. With how fast you can stream movies, sports, games, etc. on your devices it fosters a "I want it all, and I want it now!" mentality.

Don't put the blame on soccer; after all, a "second tiered sport" should not be what causes the ills Schnellenberger speaks of.

The fine young men is the service now are the exception, not the rule. As a whole our society is weaker.
Thank you for service.

I agree about video games. The worst thing ever invented. They have turned our children into couch potatoes and sofa slugs.

Completely agree. Although I'm not sure it's any worse than people who use the TV as a babysitter. At least on a computer they're exercising hand eye coordination and problelm solving skills. The lack of social interaction, due to video gaming, is the true hole in these kids personalities, IMO.

Isn't that the truth. I once caught my teenage son texting with his friend that was sitting in the same room. He explained that it was easier then talking. I too am concerned about the younger generations intra-personal skills.

How true. My 27 year old son, who is a great kid, stayed here one night and the next morning texted his mom from his bedroom to see what we were having from breakfast... You only have to hit eight keys to talk.03-banghead

RE: End of the day, Basketball will reign supreme.
I think that once some really negative findings are released, like potentially this one from the link:

Quote:The camp's co-founder, Curtis Blackwell, said his goal was to conduct baseline tests on about 600 high school players this week so that the data was available if any of them have head injuries during the season.


then Moms are going to step in and kill the game in grade school. High schools are going to be held accountable for providing their players a growing list of the "latest" safety equipment and the costs are going to go through the roof.
