Honestly, as much as I love it, football has started its slow decline in the country.
People are making a big deal about the flag crap, but in reality... a tackle isn't a tackle, a catch isn't a catch, you are taking the physicality out of the games, replay reviews take 10x longer than they do in soccer, the games last too long compared with the actual game play, and participation is decreasing rapidly due to the concussion issues.
Baseball and football are going to start slipping, while basketball and soccer continue to grow in popularity. Either lacrosse or rugby will start to gain popularity as well, because of the physicality and the lack of play stoppages.
