This Wednesday in class we talked about the violence in sport. Dr.Todd used cock fighting and dog fighting to explain to the class that the purpose of those fights are to place harm on the other animal in the fight. These types of fights are very similar to the national football league. Football players are at risk everyday to get in injury (life threatening actually). So the question I ask is, “Should the NFL go to a non-physical game?” In my opinion I shouldn’t, it would take away from the past time of America’s favorite game! Even the new rule that the NFL has enforced {A player will be suspended are heavenly fined for flagrant hits to the head of an opponent} is a little ridiculous. Fans and players of all types love to see players make big plays, which mean BIG HITS. The players can’t even play their type of game, because in the back of their mind it’s the conscience of being fined for making a big play. NFL needs to go back to the drawing board of making rules, because the NFL will eventually be called the NFFL (National Flag Football League)
