I'm beginning to think that like a lot of historical trends, the toughness of that time is overstated and is partially a result cognitive biases.



It's just a hip thing to say

"ohhhh back in the good old days that wouldn't have been a foul"

People like to throw that term around a lot in the NFL

"ohhhhh back in the good ole days the DE would have drop kicked the QB and nothing would have happened" blah blah

I guess it's like the old, "back in my day, I walked to school in the snow uphill, both ways." (may be a northerner thing though).

The best is how hypocritical the old folks are though. For example:


Watch a video of dick butkus putting a late hit on a QB. "Damn, did you see the mean streak in that guy? He pissed vinegar"


Watch a clip of a modern player putting a late hit "i cant stand the thugs in todays game"
