This past week, the NFL issued hefty fines to players who made an illegal hits over the weekend. Two of the players fined were James Harrison (fined $75,000) and Brandon Meriweather. The league has now said that any player who makes a tackle leading with the helment, or makes contact of the helment of a defenseless offense player, will be subject to suspension. Players have not had a pleasant response to this. In fact, James Harrison sat out a day of practice because he was considering retirement.
Do you think these new rules are extreme? Do you think the NFL executives, most of whom have never played football, are ruining the game we have come to love? Or, do you think this is simply to protect the players?
