I understand injury prevention and some players not wanting to risk it by doing the Oklahoma drill i just want the option open.
It is entertaining and last i thought this game is supposed to be entertaining.
I kind of see it both ways. As a fan attending training camp, it certainly is one of the more entertaining drills to watch, but at the same time the goal of a training camp drill shouldn't be entertaining the fans in attendance. If the potential cost is less than the potential gain, I totally get not doing it... but at the same time, I do think it's a chance for a lesser known player to open some eyes. I seem to remember reading a story of a rookie Tim Krumrie destroying people in the Oklahoma drill (including iirc their first round draft choice that year, who I think was a center? I may be wrong).
So honestly I have no real clue if they should ban it or not. I think it's an interesting discussion, though. I'm guessing the NFLPA had a say?
