[QUOTE="ChiefGritty, post: 2015282, member: 746137"] It will look like movie theaters and the movie business do now. Still in business, still breaking box-office records if you look at the numbers from certain angles, still very much a part of everyday life. The hardcore fans still being served. Great entertainment still being provided if you know where to look. But at the same time something whose golden age has very clearly passed, the problems obviously caused by greed and lack of understanding of what the audience actually wants, and just kind of a sad and frustrating reminder of the social institution that once was. It hit movies before it hit sports for a variety of reasons, but it's the same process. A postseason playoff game played between perennial powerhouses at a neutral site in an antiseptic NFL palace in a major urban city is the Marvel comic book sequel of college football. [/QUOTE]
