The NFL Blast Mean Tacklers

New York, NY--The NFL feels that the quarterbacks should be protected from taking any hit that might interfere with the play of the game. They also deny that these rashes of flags interfere with the game and ultimately decide some games.



The new roughing the passer rule was put in the game to prevent the quarterback from getting hurt during the season. This new rule, while clearly takes away the sack, will protect only one player and drive down the cost owners have to pay for pass rushers. It is a win-win for the NFL.

There is no clear proof that rule is equally applied to every quarterback in the NFL because of how the  NFL only seems to favor some teams when it comes to the way officials call football games. Cam Newton gets hit in the head, not foul because the player didn't put any weight on the quarterback. 

This wonderful new foul will lead to more free PR time for the already media starved NFL.
