If you saw how football was played in that time you would vote to abolish it
too. Check out John Sayle Waterson's history of college football. It was
an incredibly violent game and corrupt as well.

100 years ago there were those nay sayers who thought NU football was not
worth the trouble, bad coaches, underachieving players, too many losses. I
guess those unhappy people will never be satisfied. I am, we had a great
season.
With thanks to hailtopurple.com for a history lesson:
"A storm of criticism followed the 1905 season. In the midst of all this
clamor against football, Northwestern University, along with Columbia and
Union
College in the East, took the drastic action of abolishing football."
