And how did the concussion protocol create Tonya Harding loopholes? The rule was meant to protect players from playing with injury and protect the league from players suing because of all the head trauma they get by playing. It's not like before the rule defensive players couldn't target a QB and take him out of the game if they wanted like you keep trying to say is happening now or can happen now. The difference is that now that QB won't be sent back to keep receiving those same hits that will eventually lead him to eating food through a straw. I don't know how you can find a negative in that.

If a defender knocks out a star qb, in most cases you ended the game for them. And as punishment maybe you lose 15 yards and MAYBE an unimportant player gets ejected. Concussion protocol makes it far easier to officially knock that player out. So what's the incentive for defenses not to play extra dirty? The NFL may have intended for player safety but the unintended consequence is that they created a loophole that makes it easier for defenses to end games on one play. If defenses are incentivized to play dirtier how has that made the game safer?
