That makes the kickoff a reasonable target for change.
Do you honestly think that if we keep seeing guys with crippling neurological disorders and more and more suicides that the NFL is going to be allowed to simply keep doing what it has been doing?
Smart organizations get ahead of the curve on these issues and make changes before they get forced to.

The game is a product. Yeah, you can change the product but what might happen is that you might change it so much that you end up with Tabb instead of Coke and your market goes away.
It's a valid point.
