You have to forget the idea that football is going to go away. No
legislator, either federal or state, would risk their seat by proposing a
bill. And football is like a pyramid with the NFL at the tippy-top and tons
of college and high school programs and Pop Warner and youth leagues below

My guess on the 5 minute warning is that some mid level league

To add to your opinion: during a game on August 16, 1920, Ray Chapman of the
