Although some horsecollars seem much worse than others. And I also agree that if the league’s motivation for some of the rules is to prevent injury then pulling a guy down by his hair should also be illegal. </span></span></span></span></p><p> <span style="font-family: 'Verdana'"><span style="color: black"></span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'"><span style="color: black"><span style="color: black"><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'">So it seems pretty reasonable to define dirty plays as both illegal hits (not illegal <em>plays</em>, but illegal hits/tackles) and ill-intentioned hits. But I think it becomes an issue when the dirty conduct occurs throughout an entire game. I wouldn’t define a team or player as playing dirty with one horsecollar, or one illegal hit/tackle in a game. But if a player continuously tackles by the horsecollar throughout a game or season, he becomes known as a dirty player. Also, if the team is playing with ill-intentions throughout an entire game I think the team is considered to have been <em>playing</em> dirty. The more games in which that team plays with ill-intentions the more it will be considered a dirty <em>team</em>. </span></span></span></span></p><p> <span style="font-family: 'Verdana'"><span style="color: black"></span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'"><span style="color: black"><span style="color: black"><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'">So, I guess I have my answer.
