Re: Goodell wants to eliminate kickoffs
In all seriousness- the history of football has had to make major changes to survive
Teddy Roosevelt- probably the biggest "Man's man" to be president- saved the game that was almost outlawed because college kids were getting killed. 18 deaths in 1 year alone. He put together a think tank that looked at the rules, improved safety, and made the game more of what it is today. I'm sure back then there were folks who thought the game would turn into a "game for pussies"
Kickoffs would be missed- but I'd rather trade the KO to keep the game successful
