Other than "it's always been this way", why does anybody care about tackling?

If it is somehow an outsized contributor to head injuries, and they are giving serious consideration is eliminating it for that reason, then... ok. Fine. Whatever the data says. Again, it's largely a pointless play to begin with. You can make up the excitement gap in other ways, I'm certain. They enthusiasm for the game would be just fine if they do this, I'm sure. |

This is so ****ing stupid. It's like Jerome Bettis said on the DP show this morning: "they might as well just flip a coin to see who wins the game."

i could see him just spotting the ball at the 20 instead of kickoffs..
don't like it but I see that as a more likely scenario vs that garbage of 4th and 15.. |

They always talk about injuries on kickoffs, but I don't seem to notice it. Seems like a lot more violent hits (and fines) on 3rd and 4th and long when WRs are left out to dry.

The league wants to focus on the dangers of kick returns yet the HOF refuses to vote in special teamers since they aren't "real" players.

They're doing all of this because the NFL is gonna get bitch slapped with a huge concussion class-action lawsuit, and they're doing as much damage control as they can now to make it look like they're promoting as much safety as possible.
