[QUOTE="Brandon, post: 438763, member: 6054"] [I]So stealing signals and plays, which dates back to the beginning of sports (and competition of any kind) is less acceptable than intentionally trying to hurt another player, affecting their health and potentially their livelihood? That's like saying Tanya Harding was okay in taking out Nancy Kerrigan, but if she had videotaped her practices and gained an advantage there, she would have been over the line.[/I] This is the dumbest argument you could have made, your example is terrible. Tanya Harding paid some low-lives to take a weapon and bust Kerrigan's legs. If a Saints player had maybe brass knuckles in their gloves and was throwing punches while tackling, you might have some debate but this is far from the case. The actual hits taking place were NOT flagged and thus in-game they were as clean as they get. In football you take hard hits, if you don't want to see hard hits then feel free to watch flag football. It is every players job to inflict as much pain as possible. Players don't even hide the fact that when a player is knowingly injured, they will INTENTIONALLY target that area. There is nothing dirty about wanting to punish the other team on the field, and if you think there is then you are watching the wrong sport.
