[QUOTE="Croak, post: 305313, member: 2367"] As any other football fan, I don't see a problem with hard hits. I do see a problem with leading with the helmet on any hit. Lead with the shoulder, not the helmet. They used to call it "spearing", now it is "leading with the helmet." No matter what name it goes by, it is frequently dangerous to the spinal column of the one leading with the helmet and dangerous to the head of the one receiving the blow from a "spear". Players are getting bigger and faster today than they once were, so somebody needs to draw the line. But, like others have said, this is football. It is a violent sport and those who sign up to play should be prepared for it. I was a Sophomore in High School back in the early seventies. I went out for a pass and got blasted by the starting senior safety. I woke up with a towel over my face. I decided then and there that I was too small to play. If you can't take the violence, become an armchair QB like me. [/QUOTE]
