Soccer is non-stop without huddles & breaks too. Lacrosse is ok, I like it better than soccer but no way would I say it’s more entertaining than football

Lacrosse tropically has 20-30 goals scored. Without all the stoppages of football. Thats why it’s called the fastest sport on two legs.
Obviously, it just comes down to personal preference, but people who don’t follow lacrosse are missing out, IMO.

Not necessarily. It’s not abnormal for interested stakeholders
To collaborate, including funded research. The NFL has too much liability on its plate to manipulate this kind of research.

...for the testing. It starts with a "finger on the scale" and turns into an absolute and completely corrupt and worthless system.
