The future & issues of football has been discussed here previously. I noticed a news article about a survey of 4000 adults about the appropriateness of football for "kids" that might be of interest as a indicator of sentiment.
Note: "kids" was intentionally left undefined.
The press release suggests that is 45/50/5 percent is after the actual results were extrapolated to the full US (adult?) population.
An analysis of the results (which I haven't read because it is behind a paywall). I will note that the press release makes statements that can't possibly be confirmed from a survey of that single question. Without looking to see if they did further questioning for confirmation, I don't know whether that analysis is mostly the opinions of the authors about the opinions of others.

...about 45% of Americans agreed that tackle football is appropriate for kids, while 50% disagreed. The remainder didn’t know.
