I confess I never played any sort of organized football. Still, it’s hard for me to believe that a video version could in any way prepare you to play the real thing.
One always hears fans saying, “well, they’re grown men, they know the risks, too bad if they end up dain bramaged.” The major question is going to evolve into this in my opinion: as the evidence of CTE becomes conclusive (the NFL finally admitted to a link last week), are parents who let their little ones play football going to be charged with child abuse? If so, will the game in its current form survive? I don’t know the answer, but that’s going to be the question going forward, I think.

You learn game strategy from simulation football video games.

Put a knight’s helm over the helmet, and a force field over that, and the problem is solved!
