Monday night football

Players are penalized for good play. The other night, I saw one of my guys flagged because he couldn't do something physically impossible. In other words, he couldn't stop on a dime. It wasn't helmet to helmit (those are horse pile rules too with how inconsistent they are). The guy was going to make a tackle, the guy dropped the ball and the defender hit him with his shoulder. There was no way he could pull up. I hate that no horse collar rule too. So you can grab his upper jersey but if this pulls him down, you'll be flagged. And now a face mask is a 15 yard penalty regardless of whether you turn the guys head or your hand just happens to nudge the bars. That's like getting five years for walking on the grass. I hate what this game has become. I don't blame the Refs. neccessarily. I blame the NFL. It's time to change the game to touch football. No one will watch but at least there won't be any head injuries.

and this is why i have pretty much turned away from american football to soccer. although, there are head injuries sometimes in soccer too. from trying to put the ball in the net with your head, and as you jump up you hit heads with the other fella trying to defend your play.
