[QUOTE="GoPGo, post: 529337, member: 9064"] Injuries are a part of the game every NFL player accepts. There is NO WAY to prevent them. Guys tear knee ligaments playing flag football too. They are compensated well for assuming that risk. You act as if tackling by taking out the legs is something new. Its not. It's as old as football. Let's say the NFL does what you want and makes low hits illegal. Maybe there is a rash of ruptured spleens over the next couple seasons. What do you do next, ban tackling altogether? Its football. Injuries happen. Injuries happen in all kinds of professions. If it bothers you that much I don't know what else to tell you. There's always chess I guess. I happen to think there are too many rules attempting to protect players. The whole "defenseless receiver" concept has actually made it worse. It gives players the false sense that they are somehow "protected" when they're not. [/QUOTE]
