so your argument is that it makes money and therefore will last forever and ever
sound economics and a solid base of sociology

They'll use literally ANYTHING to further the claim that football is dying.... yet college athletic departments are making hundreds of millions of dollars off Football, and the NFL shyts on all sports leagues in terms of revenue.

Again, while you may not care the NFL does care about globalizing the sport, it's just that the rest of the world couldn't careless. It doesn't even need to be 30 years, these things happen suddenly really, the media spotlight is now on the whole head trauma shyt and as more and more info comes out it will only get worse.
Pop Warner is the biggest league, if they saw a decline then it stands to reason there's a decline everywhere

High school participation rates are on the decline as well -

Of the 4 major sports, football is the only one without a foothold in another country, baseball is popular in parts of Asia and Latin America, Hockey is popular in Canada and Europe and I don't really need to speak on Basketball. The lone sport without any traction anywhere else in the world is football, it may dominate the US but if more and more mothers keep their sons out of the game it doesn't have the wide reaching talent pool like the other sports to just brush off declining participation rates within the US.
Pop Warner may be the largest youth football organization, but more and more youth football leagues are springing up ( e.g. Snoop Youth Football ) and most kids don't play in Pop Warner leagues.
in the link you posted,it's noted that some schools districts are charging upwards of $500 to play football.... it doesn't take fear of long team brain damage to make a parent tell their kid they can't play football, all it takes is a look at their checking account.

Per the Pop Warner Site
Louisiana ( the state that produces most NFL talent per capita), has no Pop Warner teams in the entire state.

Mississippi and Alabama also have no pop warner teams.

They don't play football in France, cause parents don't want their kids to risk concussions.
People seem to forget that concussions aren't truly a deterrent from Football... if that was the case, girls would be cheerleaders, and soccer wouldn't be growing as a sport here.

You'll see that en masse as soon as college players can get paid.
