I think that it could happen through a ban on fighting, or at least by way of a dramatic change to the current rules that govern fights. I can't say I know what that would look like, but I am getting to the point at which I can no longer simply accept that it can't be done.

With all due respect to Jay Feaster, I think he's wrong. There is a role for these players because the League continues to sustain them, but I'm not convinced that they are in any way still necessary.
