[QUOTE="olroadbeech, post: 4173641, member: 52145"] I was thinking that the only thing that could hurt the NFL would be a corruption scandal but even not sure that would hurt . Corruption almost killed boxing even though it took almost 100 years. I followed boxing all my life but can not tell you who the heavyweight champ is. It seems like college sports is heading towards paying the players. That's sad . I was upset with the dream teams with pro players in the Olympics but that happened because of all the cheating by other countries using pros. I thought why can't they just clean it up instead of giving in? You were absolutely right when you said it comes down to money. It almost always comes down to money. Nothing can be pure anymore. Maybe I am naive but I was lucky to grow up partially in the heyday of the major sports. Football, baseball, and basketball. Maybe it was a little earlier than I remember in the 60's. the 30's-40's-50's. There was probably some corruption of course but the money was not that big then. [/QUOTE]
