Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.

Fix something that needs fixing. Like arbitrary targeting ejections.

    Fine. Kickoffs are dangerous apparently. Fuck it.

    I want football in my future.

    If you can actually return a ball it will likely help you as most teams will suck at coverage.

    You will likely see more squib kicks as a result.

    What I don’t like about it is when kickoffs are from the 50 that anything pooched negates the penalty leading to the kickoff at the 50. Possible more on-side kicks in those situations.

    Just get to the point of taking kicking out of the game altogether honestly vs this we are trying to be safer but not really solving the issue in full

    I get your point, but football isn’t going anywhere. It’s a bunch of pc bullshit. The kids getting weeded out from the danger stories never were the types to play college or NFL ball anyways.</>

    The new rule also allows a company who has naming rights display it's corporate logo rather than just the company name.

    Instead of kicking touchbacks, teams have been kicking it high inside the 5 to force a return. This would remove the incentive to not kick a touchback

    Why even have a kickoff at that point? Just let them start at the 10, and save us a few commercial breaks ffs.

    You think all the research on CTE is PC bullshit?

    You must have impressive neurological research credentials to make that kind of statement! I didn’t realize you were a world renowned neurologist!!

    It’s funny though because every world renowned neurologist I know thinks it’s fucking serious.

    But I guess that’s not me just basing my thoughts on expert consensus. You guys all know I’m out of control with my PC agenda.

    Many people say I’m the most PC guy they have ever met.

    It’s probably true. That’s why I think football should be made as safe as possible. It’s not because it’s common sense and ensures football’s future in our society, it’s becajse I just want a PC society of safe spaces and kumbaya bull shit.
