Because Fatty, there were SEVERAL OTHER HOF PLAYERS who have been pretty vocal about their beliefs that it should be flagged as a penalty play.
It's been YOUR contention from the beginning of the thread that Purposely rolling up on the back of another players leg is not dirty tactics, so we all know where you stand on the subject, as for myself? I don't have to run to mommy or anyone else to render an opinion.
What an awakening, I have a differing opinion than you, Bobby & Sherm, who'd a thunk it?
OH AND, Travis Kelce was penalized for going in for a LOW BLOCK on a player last week, Yup, he was flagged for what is considered the kind of Block that can possibly cause injuries....THE SAME kind of injuries that can take place from doing a "Hip Drop Tackle".....Imagine that.
Unsurprisingly you're misstating what I've said in the thread. That's your tactic, misstate or misinterpret what people write because you already know what your reply is going to be so you just make it what you want. I never said:
Purposely rolling up on the back of another players leg is not dirty tactics
I think a reasonable person would understand that not thinking a play is dirty would preclude the idea that a player deliberately did something to injure the other. It's no wonder, given that criteria, that you don't get it.
WTF does an illegal block have to do with a legal tackle? The players lobbied for certain blocks to be made illegal, in this case the players are the ones lobbying to keep this kind of tackle legal. Just another absurd apples to oranges comparison from you that you think makes a point but actually undermines your argument.
Anyway, you didn't answer why I should take your word for it about the tackles over the word of Sherm or Bobby or the bulk of the NFLPA. The only argument you've given is that other HoF players have said so, which would then make you guilty of "running to mommy" for your opinion. I've asked you why your opinion differs from them but you haven't/won't answer, par for the course for you.
