[QUOTE="FrankRizzo, post: 529816, member: 2232"] That sounds to me like the parent of 3 teenage kids who just is resigned to the fact that "kids is gonna be kids" and make mistakes, and therefore takes the lazy way out and doesn't do a good job of teaching and monitoring them, just chalking it up to them kids being kids. The NFL has a job to do and that's make the game safe as possible, without ruining the product. When they put in the rule prohibiting tackling by the facemask, did that bother you? When they put in the Brady rule in, protecting QB's knees when passing, did that bother you? When they banned the horse-collar, which had been around for a long time, did that bother you? So you don't mind seeing guys like Brandon Merriweather take free shots helmet to the face or helmet of Cobb or Jordy or Lacy? And you don't mind seeing what happened to Randall Cobb, Dustin Keller, Rob Gronkowski, Jordan Shipley, Tom Brady, Carson Palmer, etc. OK, that's the difference between you and I. I believe there are many ways to tackle, and that method is one that needs to be severely penalized. You throw up your arms and say "well this is football, you gotta let em get em down however they want". I find that lazy and naive, as I do much parenting these days. [/QUOTE]
