Why not just make it touch/flag instead of tackle?
Yes, ma'am! GO DIRTY BIRDS!!!!Only when the Falcons win (right Lymond?)
I don't see this as a problem.
Not sure about the logo, though; the claw imo doesn't work and antagonizes the head too much graphically.
Presumably, you'd have to ban blocking along with tackling. Some level of headtrauma is basically inevitable with blocking. To really optimize safety, a low risk tolerance approach would need to ban physicality.Why not just make it touch/flag instead of tackle?
I suspect more running would only be a plus, the game is kinda very slow. Though I tend to think of in-tackle offloads as more of a rugby league phenomenon.Is there a solution to how much harder this will make it to stop passes during a tackle? Or is that considered an advantage, to encourage running rugby?
I am not sure; while obviously there are very many utterly nasty people in US government/society, there are also many of high quality. Physical sports, on the other hand, have a history of promoting (as outlet with incentive) violence.Tbh this thread would be more interesting if "n football" was removed from the title
You could just make that thread.Tbh this thread would be more interesting if "n football" was removed from the title
End up in gangs lolIt serves a social purpose. All sports do. It gives young men a chance to belong to something bigger than themselves. Which, in the midst of the decline of faith, is vital. Some percentage of kids would end up in gangs without it and until we address the drug culture, we need all the help we can get. The pros outweigh the cons imo.
End up in gangs lol
