NFL Changing The Game



One of NFL's best defensive players is upset with the NFL about the new rule of tackling. He feels that all the regulations will change the game making the players hesitant of making a routine tackle because of penalties and fines. Troy Polamalu said “It’s just the essence of what NFL football is,” Polamalu said. “You don’t want to get into a sport that loses the core mentality. It’s like playing basketball and, `Oh, you can’t body somebody up. You can’t touch them. You can only play defense from a foot out.’ It takes away from the real athleticism of the sport. … football loses its identity.” I feel this is Worth The Hype! Big hits is what makes the game football. That's why I played. Polamalu and I don't agree with cheap shots but a good hard tackle should not be a problem! I understand the NFL wanting to protect the players but they all have known that injuries are a part of the game!!!
