“I think football will survive as a sport and as a game,” said Sinclair. “It might look different, but in the time I’ve been involved with it, and Joel, too, the types of offenses you’re seeing, the types of strategies that are employed, the types of fields you’re playing on, it’s evolved quite a bit. You’ll probably see more of that, and safety probably will be what drives that, but I think football will survive as an institution.
“It’s a pretty good American game.”
