In all sports, I realized that the owners and commissioners are more rules to make sports safer, especially in the National Football League. Rules not only make the game safer, give the athlete a better opportunity to demonstrate their abilities more than ever before. Cons Each season, the League has made some changes to make the game better. Lately, they focused on the athlete's safety, especially with head injuries. Some people have criticized the rule change and that the rules are far from having the game and the strike is part of the game, such as roughing penalties to go all crazy the world is in the best interest of the player.
For 2009 season, the League has approved four new standards that are related to player safety. Here are the new rules:
1. "The initial force of Blindside block can be delivered by a helmet, forearm or shoulder of an opponent's head or neck. Blindside lead an illegal block penalty of 15 yards. "
2. "The first contact of the head of a defenseless receiver will also have a penalty 15 meters."
3. On kickoffs, no corner of the block more than two players will be allowed. A penalty 15 meters from the finish of a team of rape. "
4. "Also in kicking, kicking team may have packed more than five players chasing an onside kick. Breaking this rule would establish a 5-yard penalty. "
The league also made an adjustment to an old rule, now known as "Tom Brady Rule", which is linked to season-ending Bernard Pollard hit his knee Patriots quarterback Tom Brady. Advocates who had been thrown to the ground would "more quarters into the slot when the game is still ongoing." As you can see these standards are all prepared to try to prevent injuries to players. The protection of the player's head is more important given the increasing number of shocks brain and severe brain damage that can cause mental health of a player.
Players are always going to be hurt, and the league is trying to avoid large happen, that people think the rules are far from taking the game and in some cases, sanctions are little frustrating to see and slow the game down. The league also conducts research on the long-term term effects of concussions. NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said: "We want Congress and the medical community to have confidence in our research, "Goodell said." If that means changing the structure of research, I would be happy to work with the committee to do that. "The league is also using new helmets to better protect players concussions and, ultimately, the long term risks of long term caused by the concussion. The football helmet Xenith X1 is designed to slow sudden and violent deceleration of the head and brain after impact. A flexible cap embedded with shock absorbers to the gradual release air to dissipate impact energy, while the traditional use of the foam filled hull.
