The NFL can't afford the cost of worthless preseason games anymore
I'm sure there is an opposing point of view.
That said, I'm waiting to hear it...

At CBSsports.com, Gregg Doyel offers his thoughts on NFL pre-season games:
"Preseason football is a joke, and it's always been a joke, and everyone knows it's a joke. But there are more serious issues at work now than punch lines: The concussion lawsuits against the NFL. The gushing revenue streams of TV contracts. The crazy money invested in starting quarterbacks.
Looking at it like that, I can talk myself into the position that the league just about can't afford to play preseason games anymore. Maybe I'm not thinking clearly, blinded by my apathy for the NFL's preseason. Talk about a waste of time; the only real thing that happens in an NFL preseason game is that players get really hurt."
