I will take a shot at that ... Imagine if you will, the year 2057...
Teams are no longer named after cities, states or colleges, Last night the Prudential Patriots played the Ford Motor Company Lions in the McDonald's Superbowl right after the Microsoft College National Championship game between the YallaWood Tigers and the ESPN Longhorns, both making it through the grueling 64 team Tums Playoff (fyi - Alabama refused to change our names and dissolved the athletic department 10 years back). The 2518 college football season starts next week as soon as the Under Armor High School Draft is completed (only 10th grade and up are eligible). Pros start the week after that and the pro season kicks off with the Samsung College Player Auction (no age limit) is completed and all new conscripts are delivered by prison bus to their new owners.
All pro players are required to have a 1 minute signature dance and personal music that is played on the PA after they do anything deemed noteworthy (by their primary sponsor). They no longer wear pads and helmets. Football uniforms look more like Nascar suits did 40 years ago (2017), covered in sponsor's LED patches.
During game play, any physical contact is an immediate disqualification for the offending player. "Tackled" status is now determined by Miles proximity laser suits that sense when a defender is within 1 meter of the ball carrier (defender just flaps his arms like a duck to trigger laser sensors) ... then an alarm sounds which automatically stops the clock for 3 minutes of commercials between each play.
Games last 12 hours now with a 1 hour half-time show and 15 minute shows between quarters, punctuated by multiple commercial breaks. There are no more kick offs now ... replaced by the kicking team's mascot spinning the Dr. Pepper Wheel of Misfortune to determine ball placement for the next possession ...
All cheerleaders are required to be transgender to avoid offending either of the other two genders. Ticket purchases require a credit check, urine test and a 90 page mortgage contract. Strip searches are required to enter the stadium and each attendee will be issued a one piece suit adorned with the colors and advertisements of their chosen team.
Stadium beverages are sold by the ounce, all stadium food is delivered and served powdered with 6 ounces of water. Standing during the game is only allowed as (1) optional during the national anthem and (2) mandatory during all renditions of major sponsors' jingles.... only two escorted and monitored bathroom trips are authorized per half, make sure you have your credit card to enter, use of the stalls is no extra charge but toilet paper is $10 per square. Yep, that's football in the year 2057.
Oh, almost forgot - Thank God I am dead and buried!
