Powder Puff Football

It seems like the NFL is becoming a powder puff two hand touch league.  First they took away hitting the quarterback.  Then they said you can't touch the receivers.  Then they got rid of touchdown celebrations, and now they are taking away helmet to helmet hits.  Why wear a helmet if you can not use it to hit another player?  That is why they are wearing the helmets.  The NFL loves the sounds of the game with the loud bang made from the hard helmets.  If you really want to stop helmet to helmet hits, just take the helmets off the players heads and they will stop going head first.   

Football is a violent sport and the fact of the matter is players will get hurt.  We do not like seeing it, but it is inevitable and there is no way to prevent it.  Concussions are a problem, but again, it is football and it's a risk each player takes when they go out on the field.  What part of the body are players allowed to tackle now? If you can't hit up high, then should they hit low and take out the legs?  What is better, a brain injury or not being able to walk again?  Why not just put flags on the players and we can stop hitting all together.  We need to just let these guys play the way the game is supposed to be played.   

These are some of the hits from last weekend that sparked the NFL cracking down on helmet to helmet hits.




For those that enjoy the hard hits of the NFL, here are some of the best.  Enjoy them because you might not see this anymore:
