They focus on the so called toughness of the game and think if you take away anything that they interpret as toughness then you’re making the game a sissy sport. However, if you really think about it, the things the NFL is taking out of the game are things that the weak and unskilled do to portray toughness that isn’t really there. The cut block may be fun to watch and it takes a tough man to endure it. But the person that is using it to is advantage is doing so because he is not strong enough to take on a stronger more skilled opponent. Same with the kill shot. It takes a tough player to withstand that type of blow. But the player giving the blow is taking advantage of an opponent that has no ability to fight back. How many of those guys that deliver those types of hits on defenseless receivers are willing to do so on a RB coming full steam at them. And the player that delivers the kill shot does so without fear of retailiation and because quite honestly he is not in position to make a play on the ball. So people that don’t like the new rules are crying about toughness of the game being lost on one hand while favoring the weak who take advantage of the way the rules were on the other hand. So the only toughness being eliminated is the ability to withstand the hit. But it really doesn’t matter how tough you are, those types of hits can very easily lead to serious injuries. Injuries that weren’t caused by being inferior to your opponent but because an inferior opponent was able to get you at your most vulnerable and defenseless state.

That wasn’t an intentional hit to Cushings. It’s called blocking…Cushing’s was out of reach that Slauson dove to block, not intentionally trying to cripple the guy.

He’s only one year removed but I watch the sorry azz Chiefs regularly and haven’t seen him show up all year.

The NFL or any other sports league CAN NOT legislate injuries out of the sport. All athletes run the risk of getting hurt in whatever sport they choose to participate in, and injuries – no matter what the rules – will continue to happen. Is baseball going to eliminate “ground balls up the middle” since Jeter got hurt and won’t be able to play anymore this year? When you play a sport – any sport but especially contact sports like football, basketball, soccer, etc – you assume the risk of getting injured.
