ORLANDO, FL.–On Monday durin’ the NFL owners meetings the medical staff of the league prompted boyz to institute a new rule that would ban all players from lowerin’ their heads to initiate contact with their helmets. It will be a 15-yard penalty and could end in an ejection of the guilty player similar to the NCAA targetin’ rule.
There are still a lot of unanswered questions on just how the rule will work. Will the ejection be automatic or will it depend on the severity of the hit etc.? Will replay be a major factor as in college football? Will the refs strictly enforce the rule? That we don’t know just yet.
The reason that boyz are so adament about institutin’ the new rule is because there were 291 concussions in the NFL last season which is the most ever in the league. There was also the spinal injury suffered by Steelers linebacker Ryan Shazier.
Boyz are also talkin’ about eventually eliminatin’ the kickoff in the near future if concussion rates don’t decrease. In other words playa, the game has gotten to be too dangerous.
But let’s keep it real or all the way 100, whichever comes 1st! It’s called FOOTBALL, for cryin’ out loud! There is no way to make a violent sport like this safe. The players are bigger, stronger and faster than they’ve ever been. They’re more skilled than they’ve ever been, the equipment is lighter and they’re in better shape than ever before. So of course the game is goin’ to be extremely dangerous.
Makin’ it illegal to lower their heads isn’t goin’ to make the game safer though. Instead of boyz havin’ more head to head injuries we’re goin’ to see more lower extremity injuries because players are about to start targetin’ knees to stay out of the trouble.
So instead of cats havin’ head injuries that catch up with them in 20 years they’ll have immediate career endin’ knee injuries. Either way the new rules won’t make the game safer.
As a matter of fact, it’s impossible to make a violent game safer. Why? Because it’s violent by nature. The only way to make it safe is to not play it at all bruh. I’m just sayin’ and now you can stop me when I start lyin’!

The G is excluded from the endings of all words because the G is near and dear to my heart because I’m from “The G” which is Gary, Indiana. So I only use the G when I’m talkin’ about “The G!”
