I watched the first pre season game last night. Almost every play there was a flag for unnecessary roughness. They are ruining football. Its hard to watch. If they keep this up into the season, football will totally suck, its not even the same game anymore.
Isn't football a physical, tough, "no fairies allowed" sport?? The whole sport is based on unnecessary roughness.Quote:

It used to be but now they want it to be just like soccer and other european sissy sports. No rough play allowed. Be gentle.Quote:

Who can honestly say they dont enjoy watching a wicked hockey check or a bone crushing tackle? From what you guys are telling me it really is going in a flag football direction. STOP KNEELING AND HIT SOMEONE !!
Im trying to stop watching football as much. Its hard to quit since I was raised on it since I was born.Its all Ive ever known, every fall of my life. Every weekend was spent playing and watching football. Now football is part of politics and its being turned into soccer. If helmets are such a problem, why not get rid of them? They need to go back to leather hats
LOL my thoughts exactly.Quote:

Will be great when a new football league starts up that has old school football rules. Just knocking the shit out of people. It will be hugely successful because thats what people want to see, until the government steps in and just bans old school football..its happened before ...in 50 years, football wont even be a major sport, only played by people who dont mind brain damage
you pay me 10-20-30mil dollars a year to play an awesome sport that may or may not cause brain damage or i might get hurt in. sign me up cause i am down. the reward def covers the riskQuote:

Too many lawsuits against the NFL, too many attorneys , have pretty much got the NFL running scared.
i will say that youth and college players should be somewhat protected but pro athletes no way. that is about the same as being in the military and trying to sue for being injured in combat.Quote:

Football is getting as bad as NASCAR with all the arbitrary rule changes which dumb down the respective sports. This is not going to fill the stands that's for sure.Quote:

You hit the nail on the head bruthaQuote:

Elway is catching hell today for not being nice to Kaepernick. Theyre ripping elway for supporting trump. Trying to say Elways a racist for trashing Keapernick. No wonder people hate football now. Its been politicized
everyone fails to point out that he sucks ass and isnt even worth having the hassle on your team. he had one good season and has sucked balls ever since. wring him out and toss his stupid ass into the garbage. dude cries about racial injustice when he grew up with rich white parents, smh. bet they are f'n proud of how he turned outQuote:

Totally agree, and it is not just the NFL it is the NBA and MLB that are also getting soft.Quote:

Its really pathetic. Now it is a 15 yard penalty. If this keeps going this way, Im going to have to seriously cut back on watching this crap
yep and it's going to slow the game way down as well as make a lot of missed tackles as well.Quote:

This is like boxing saying you can no longer punch someone in the face. This is no longer the same game.
They said there is a new rule that says when u sack a QB, you cant put your body weight on him when you go to the ground. If you put your body weight on him, your team is penalized 15 yards..wtf are you kidding me?
