  It seems today the NFL has made rules to protect 200 pound their players. Like don't hit a defenceless receiver well if it is like that then you just watch a player. Head to head is understandable. Their concussion rule that they are proposing is totally stupid. Think about this these NFL players et gets paid a lot of $$$ take hard hits. You don't see NFL players complaing and crying that the other team is too rough.

 Goodell is really getting on the rough Defensive teams, like the Pittsburgh Steelers or Minnisota Vikings. I think that these guys have trained their whole entire life to take hard hits. It's the player's choice if they want to take hard hits. Franco Harris ran out of bounds a lot,but he is still walking. Also if a player has a concussion it should be his choice if he wants to comeback a week later. These are grown men, not pee-wee football kids. These men can make their own decisions. How many players in the last 10 years have been seriously hurt. Who? Kevin Everett thats about it.

 

  I don't know just my opinion, but they are turning the NFL into a sissy sport.
