Can the NFL Survive as a Touch Football League?

With recent allegations coming out that players were given pain pills like candy before games on top of the recent Concussion Settlement of $765 Million, one has to wonder how much longer the NFL will continue to be able to function as they have in the past. The game of football played at the NFL level is a violent physical game played by young men who can reap incredible financial benefits and there is huge incentive for a player to continue playing through injury and pain as there is always someone ready to step in to take your position. There is also the culture of playing with pain that has most likely always existed, it's just that now players have come to the realization whether right or wrongly that they can indeed sue and reap financial benefits from one of the most profitable sport enterprises in the world worth billions of dollars. While it's hard to feel sorry for the owners of the NFL's teams, with the NFL trademark one of the most valuable and profitable business enterprises around, at the same time, one would have to be very naive to believe that most players are not fully cognizant of the damage that they could be doing to their bodies by playing a game as violent as an NFL football game. Makes me wonder, by 2020, will we be cheering our favorite NFL flag football team?
