Dont do it man... It would be like watching Premier League for the first time and deciding to support Derby.
Also avoid New England thats like supporting United.

I am sure no one is calling for the sport to be scrapped but if there is a fault and a danger then they should admit it and get a dialogue going from there.
What do you think NFL fans?

Usually a safe bet.

The players know the risks involved. I had a few concussions and stingers in my days playing football but I just accepted it as part of the game. If the league keeps adding rules to protect players heads it's going to get to the point where it becomes the Nation Two Hand Touch League and that's not going to be good for anyone.
Maybe if they went back to the old school padding and leather helmets, players would think twice before going head first into tackles.
The NFL, which has denied misleading players about the dangers of the game, will not admit any wrongdoing under the agreement, which must be approved by a federal judge.

Looking forward to see how my Falcons are going to do this year, after a fairly quiet draft I would say.
Also looking forward to seeing a hopefully recovered RG3 in his second season and what Kaepernick can do with a full season at the 49ers.
