But it's not limited to injury concerns. Is a 17 game season better for the game? Or better for their pocket? Same goes for 14 playoff teams.Money will mostly help what is best for the game... because people who own teams want to make money, and the best way to make money is to put the best product out there possible.
But there's a limit to that. Money will not help what is best for the game as it becomes evident that some people could become egregiously harmed by that pursuit... and thus, the fear of losing money isn't helpful to the game... but the game isn't more important than people's general capacity to live a full and enjoyable life, including football player people.
So all that just to reaffirm... the economic self-interest is a good thing all the way around, in this case.
Most people don't care about kickoffs, but if for some odd reason the new kickoff rules cut the stadium attendance down by half, the old kickoffs would be back in a heartbeat.
