I have lost interest in football. I had one concussion in my life when in third grade we were playing king of the mountain and when I was pushed from the dirt pile my head hit a steel survey stake. A day in the hospital, and then I got booted because not only did I have a concussion....I had the mumps.
I used to really like giving hard hits and watching hard hits. I just do not get that thrill since Dave Duerson committed suicide after suffering following his NFL career. Notre Dame grad, world champions with the Bears, and a horror story of mental decline and depression after football. I do not know if it is the parity where there are no dominate teams or just not have my heart in the game knowing that some of those hits will damage people for life.....in any regard, I will go to the super bowl party and watch the commercials and honestly......I could care less who wins........I feel neutered, or I am letting my feminine side out, but I would never want to see my grandson play football, and I loved playing the same.....the love is gone.
