Shaziers hit was legal, should have been a TD
#40
BS explanation of rule. ANGLES?!? ANGLES?!?!? IT WAS A HELMET TO HELMET HIT! What a load of crock they are trying to stuff down our throats. I don't buy it and neither should you!!

here's the relevant parts of the rule:

(g) If a player uses any part of his helmet (including the top/crown and forehead/”hairline” parts) or
facemask to butt, spear, or ram an opponent violently or unnecessarily.

(j) if a player illegally launches into a defenseless opponent. It is an illegal launch if a player (1) leaves
both feet prior to contact to spring forward and upward into his opponent, and (2) uses any part of his
helmet (including the top/crown and forehead/”hairline” parts) to initiate forcible contact against any
part of his opponent’s body.

They said he's not defenseless so (j) doesn't apply. How does (g) not apply? Angles you say? No! That's a BS league cover up! The INTENT of the rule is to avoid so many concussions from helmet to helmet hits. GIO was Knocked OUT by a helmet to helmet spear! How can this rule not apply? It makes no sense. BS BS BS!

Don't be like the OP! Don't let the league lull you to sleep with their BS!
