Talking about contact sports... NFL fines helmet to helmet hits, etc (I agree with not hitting helmet to helmet due to increased concusions), yet they then go around and sell NFL Greatest Hits (or whatever) showing helmet to helmet collisions. So they make money off the fines and then make money off selling footage of it. Sounds like a contradiction to me. They also protect the quarterback a little too much now. You can barely tap the quarterback right after they throw the ball and get a penalty. I understand about the need to protect the quarterback but they are going a little too far on some calls. It is pretty hard for a lineman to all of sudden stop and not hit the quarterback if they just released the ball a second. If the hit lays the quarterback out (a few seconds after throwing the ball) then sure throw the flag but if they barely touch the quarterback right after release then it shouldn't be a late hit.
