recently is better than what existed in the past.. it's just how memory and high def tv
work. football did not undergo a jackie robinson shift.
and for you to say "much less wear and tear on the body" is just flat ridiculous.
you obviously have no idea what you're talking about concerning football of the past.
there was MORE of that. Equipment wasn't as good. Far more went on the field than
is allowed today. I could go on but have better things to do. just a dumb statement.
