This hit cost Kwon Alexander a $43,000 fine for unnecessary roughness yesterday. Totally screwed over for a clean tackle. NFL has become a pussy league. I used to like keeping up with our LSU guys on Sundays, but this shite product is really getting hard to watch.

NFL will become flag football soon at the route they're going.

He should sue the nfl for this crap. No way that was an illegal hit.

I've been playing fantasy football for over 20 years, but quit playing this year. The league is too soft now.

Not sure the type of flag football you play, video shows blunt force trauma.

That was a perfect tackle based on their own description of how it should be done. He will win an appeal I would think.

Seriously? That’s crazy. If Butkus played today he and his great great grandkids would be paying off his fines for many decades

He did lower his helmet & put his “crown” into the RBs chest. That used to be a textbook tackle but alas the NFL has gone the way of the vagina!!

Tough to tell in full speed from that angle

Looked like a clean form tackle to me

Not that I agree with the rule, but it wasn’t a perfect tackle according to their definition. He was looking at the ground when he made contact.

For an unnecessary roughness hit. The player with the ball sprung up might quick like it was a good clean torso tackle

Has nothing to do with the ball carrier. They are trying to prevent the defender from breaking his neck.

The amount of these fines seem ridiculous. Especially for such questionable calls.

Same. Looks like he initially ducks, but his head is raised at the point of contact. Looks clean to me.

Refs are testing their ability to influence the game.
