Football has changed in the following ways: 1) the change in the NFL since free agency now that Retired NFL players take the NFLPA to court. 2) Another one is player’s salary ever since the first person to get paid to play a sport William (pudge) Hefflefinger the salary has gone up and so has the danger levels. 3) Lastly the rules. The rules have changed dramatically rules like what happens in overtime, now in overtime the team that loses the coin toss gains possession and if the other team makes any kind of point or regains possession the team leading wins. =

Recently retired players like Herb Adderley are taking the NFLPA to court because as Dennis Cummings says they are actively trying to diminish the share that retired players get from Electronic Arts games (EA) madden and other football games. Dennis Cummings also says that EA games told Adderley to turn down an offer from take two interactive and take a much smaller deal from them, and that was in an email sent from NFLPA executive Clay Walker.

In other decades for example 1980’s they changed the rules only twice in the whole year. Another example would be in 1912 when a touch-down was changed from 5 points to 6 points. Every year in the 2000’s a rule was changed. According to [] and [] =
