The NFL has become America’s most popular sport in the past 20 years. The popularity of the NFL will soon decline and will no longer be the most popular sport in the U.S. A possible lockout, the new hit policy, and the long term effects of concussions will lead to the NFL’s downfall.
It is highly likely that the players union and the owners will not be able to come to an agreement which would lead to a lockout next year. In recent history, hockey and baseball have both had strikes and both sports are still hurting from it today.
The NFL has begun fining players for helmet to helmet hits. The new policy will have a great effect on the league because it will prevent big hits and will also set a precedent for more rules to be created to protect the players.
The opposition states that football is America’s sport and that it couldn’t lose its popularity. However, every year there is new research on the long term effects of concussions which will lead to even more rules that will hurt the popularity of the league. Concussions have become the new big topic of the NFL and there have already been many new rules that have angered players and fans.
In conclusion, the NFL will no longer be the most popular sport in the near future because of a possible lockout, the new hit policy, and the concussion research
