This thread is going about as anyone could've predicted on VSN.
For one, there is precedent here. UFC while never at the same level as the NFL is now suffered from over-saturation. Suddenly, every weekend had a PPV and what happens is you don't become appointment television. Now, you can skip shows, pick and choose what the watch. If the NFL expands into every weekday you'll get the same thing, most people can't devote every day to watch it so they'll start skipping games. That's when it starts to hurt. If you know all you have to do is watch on Sunday, that's easy. When you can just as easily skip Tuesday-Thursday games, then you're getting into over-saturation and it does become an issue. Less is sometimes more.
Two, to rams point that nobody cares about safety, you're an idiot. Look at the numbers of youth football enrollment in recent years (

The next logical step for high schools is to get out of brain damage business and stop offering football as a school sport but instead have football go the way of boxing and be a club-based sport. This will take a lot longer than 10 years but if lawsuits come down and it's no longer cost-effective to run football through the school, they'll make changes.
Drink bleach. Seriously. Or better yet, stop trying to run around what you really want to say — you aren't comfortable with a league where the stars are predominately black. This argument has no leg to stand on because nothing in the NBA's marketing or presence really says "hip-hop-rap-ghetto" those are just buzzwords 30+ year olds use to justify why they don't like the NBA anymore. Just say it, you don't like that all the stars are black. It's okay.
