They have better things to do. They are bright, better informed, and quicker to change. That's called adaptation in the biology/evolution business. And they are participators, not spectators (except for maybe concerts, which are actually raves--but is that all bad?)— February 4, 2016 8:57 a.m.

Yes, people are suckers. But the answer may be blowin' in the cyber-wind. People are getting smarter, largely because this is the Age of the Hustle--EVERYWHERE you look. Especially at the institutional level, private, non-non-profit, government. When the chickens come home to roost, and most of the Golden Gooses are slain or driven into poverty, consumption will go down. The signs of this are actually showing up in the statistics (blunt instruments for assessing sensitive phenomena to be sure, but *because* they are blunt, all the more reason to look for the reasons behind their radical swings). Look carefully at the crossing-comparison pivot-points, as in the last three decades of the last century, especially the early nineties. It may take a Great Collapse to bomb us back into the Stone Age, from which both slobbering pathologies and mutual-assist Phoenixes may arise--unless the flip on its back will result in a graveyard spiral from which there is NO recovery. The big problem with graphs is their thin lines; they need to be ribbons of varying widths. Meat for a piece?— February 4, 2016 8:44 a.m.

It's all about compensation. For being short in more ways than one.— February 3, 2016 4:40 p.m.

Many Chinese are brilliant, but apparently there are damned fools in China too. What's good for the Goo See may not be good for the Ganderer at a dick-length compensator "sport" (coliseum spectacle) like football, at least in the form as it is known today. Maybe go back to leather helmets? Or just call the whole thing off and use real Glad-'e-ate-'ers as long as no non-humans like lions are abused in the process.— February 3, 2016 4:19 p.m.

It is not heroic to say "give me football or give me suicidal tendencies." Give the kids an alternative, that is truly athletic, like, say, ballet, or gymnastics, or maybe even futbol.— February 3, 2016 4:08 p.m.

Some kids don't even have the level of brain development to make the decision on their own, as, of course, is true with infantile adults, who may be brain-damaged and thus deserve our sympathy and consideration. But not to the point of supporting the most crooked form of the sport, the Nefarious Fool's League.— February 3, 2016 4:05 p.m.
Spanos commits!
I was right. You were right--twice. We should have some punch-u-a-shun for dem dudes!— February 3, 2016 3:56 p.m.

The best thing the fans could do is not buy tickets.— February 3, 2016 9:27 a.m.
