Ironically the sport that has the most concussions is woman's youth soccer. Not sure how football can be remotely watchable if it gets as soft as that.
I'm pissed that Burfict put himself in this situation to begin with. When I first saw it I though the pump fake is what drew him to make the contact cause it didn't look to me that he looked back up after the fake. But damnit the rules are written in a way where they can call any hit they want dirty. We had a guy get leveled last week in a block down field that was worse than this.
The appeal might reduce it one game if any. They wanted someone to use to make an example of for this new rule and Burfict was dumb enough to make a questionable hit like that in a pre season game.
I think it's just football, you get hit, the guy didn't get hurt, no flag was thrown so it shouldn't be an issue. But he will get suspended no question. I know I will be watching Pitt, NE, etc players this year for hits like this and calling them out as I hope everyone will.
