I proposed (snarkily ) to the guy that arranges our county fair a few years ago to do some form of NFL parody game where the QB wears a skirt and if anybody touches them, everybody in the audience blows a whistle and throws a yellow hankey in the air! He got a chuckle, but didn't think it would work.

Respectfully, the 80s may have been more pure, but was largely less entertaining. 3 yards and a cloud of dust vs 13 seconds? Give me 13 seconds all day. The NFL worked hard to sneak in stuff to make it more entertaining. Now my favorite team, The Kansas City Chiefs, have a quarter back built in a lab to take advantage of the new rules, and a coach whos playbook would take einstein a month to digest.
