Redistribution Football    

   It's Spring 2022 and our leaders, having "equalized" every American into one of two categories - privileged or cancelled - turns their attention to the National Football League. Equality is the goal. 

   President Harris forms a commission chaired by Dr. Robin Hood, short on sports knowledge but famous for skilled deprograming of Trump supporters. 

   Dr. Hood orders an evaluation of every player who competed in 2021, and of college stars looking to be drafted. They are rated by position, great, good or average...3, 2 or 1. 

   His plan guarantees that each team will have the same numerical total going into the new season. All team rosters are reformed. 

   In 2022, it's working. There are few lopsided scores, overtime games increase, and no team wins more than 10 games. Attendance and TV viewership drop by 20 percent, player salaries decline by 15 percent, and a team that won twice in 2021 wins the next Super Bowl.

   More evaluations in 2023 double the above effects, a coach who wins by 8 points or more is fired, and the Super Bowl is renamed Equality Bowl. 

   In 2024, all the above trends continue, and a coach who wins by 4 points or more is fired. The Equality Bowl is moved permanently to Disney World, Florida.   

   In 2025, overtime games are the rule, attendance and TV viewership are not measured, no college players choose the NFL, and all eight remaining teams end with 4-4 records, making playoffs unnecessary.

   Dr. Hood goes to the Black, Brown & White House where he receives the Medal of Equality, the highest civilian honor. He is applauded for making the NFL equally as successful as all other Chinese-American organizations.
