Unplug the NFL - Conservapedia
I think this is the crux of the matter.
And then, they find everything else to throw against the NFL.
Conservapedia’s “Unplug the NFL” and the supposed “Paganism” of the NFL ? ! ?

And then, they find everything else to throw against the NFL.
What political environment?
That we get a little bit of improvement or reform, but this is quickly labeled political “correctness” which then generates a huge counter-reaction?

The main way for now I can see the NFL limiting concussions is by reducing the physical play or hard hits. But then that defensive line wouldn't be able to stop the offense if they can't increase the physicality needed to bring someone down. The one alternative is flag football. Then even women can play.
It's kinda a stretch, but I wouldn't be surprised if someone emphasizes the brutality of the sport and then try to get it softened.
It’s also the steady diet of sub-concussive hits to the head as a causative factor in CTE.
And that’s a big problem. It means we can’t “concussion management” our way out of it.
And, I’m mainly concerned with under age 18 Pop Warner players and all the rest.
Back to the fun topic of the NFL’s “paganism” . . .
This is the mascot for the Chicago Bears. Not Stanley, but Staley.
This is “Staley Da Bear.”

This is the mascot for the Philadelphia Eagles.

And this is some Eagles players doing a “Flying V” from back in 2017.

The Mountain Blowing a Gigantic Viking Horn Is The Greatest Damn Thing You'll See All Day
Hafþór Björnsson blew the massive horn to kick off a Minnesota Vikings game

It certainly looks like a Pagan ritual!
From at least 2017, the Minnesota Vikings blow the Gjallarhorn before home games. In this case, inviting actor Hafþór Björnsson from Game of Throbes.
But—
I really think most fans take this all in good fun. Making a big deal out of this us similar to fundamentalist Christians taking Halloween wa-a-ay too seriously.
Here’s the Cincinnati Bengals mascot who is named “Who Dey.”
It’s part of a chant, as in “Who Dey going to beat the Bengals?”
“Nobody!”
and here’s that mascot promoting a line of Tostitos chips [or, “crisps” for our friends in the UK].
======================
And here’s that same mascot promoting exercise and good nutrition at an elementary school.
Yes, I know, all in good moderation. But it’s still funny.
