I will defer to the OP and discontinue reposting his own words back to him.

I agree that the hard hits are what the NFL and its affiliates promoted for decades.  Heck the Steelers/Bengals game was replayed MONDAY on NFL network.

They secretly love it, but when the opposing player doesn't get up they have to CYA and make like they care about safety.  If they truly cared they would switch helmets...but they have a deal so that would cost money.  Or they'd allow replay to correct the H2H calls.  Or be more consistent with the suspensions and fines.

But it's all just to protect themselves from lawsuits.

Good, clean hits will always be appreciated.  Injuries may still occur...and that's something the NFL doesn't want to acknowledge.

Hits are punished based on who makes them and how it reflects upon the league as opposed to how dangerous they are to the players. That's why 10 years after Goodell started with his BS nothing in the league has actually changed regarding hits. How many of the players in the league now where there week 3 2007 when Goodell made his first rash reaction based on a college player getting injured? The culture has more than enough time to change; most players in the league have played their entire careers under the allegedly 'changed' NFL.
