This mostly.

But you also justify not watching a product like the NFL because it's no longer the controlled violent sport you grew to love. In my lifetime I've scene the following rule changes off the top of my head:

1)Stiffly enforce incidental contact beyond 5 yards.
2) In the grasp for QBs( good rule)
3) Hook slide for QBs
4)QBs can ground the ball out of the Pocket with no penalty
5)QB "strike zone" can't hit/ touch the QB below the knees or above shoulders
6)can't drive the QB into ground. Must gently caress to the ground without falling n him too violently


7) Defenenseless receiver has made intimidation/ punishment of receivers a thing of the past. Middle of the field is wide open.

8) NFLs "Greatest Hits" were the best selling videos since we love our controlled violence. Thing of the past.

Outside of a facemask a defender could legally crumple an offensive player to the ground . If you fall it's a good tackle.

Makes it much easier to not be as interested in a game you no longer recognize with the obsession with protecting offenses/ promote scoring.
