NFL is considering banning the "hip-drop tackle"

So I had no clue wtf a hip-drop tackle is, and this is what came up on Google search. Apparently it is a technique that is taught to get larger, stronger runners than the tackler on the ground by pulling the runner's hips down with the tackler's weight, sometimes resulting in the tackler's body laying onto the runner's legs.
Just put flags on these big bitches and be done with it.

NFL owners are ahead of the game buying up the big soccer clubs

That’s tackling. They want to ban tackling.

I mean, at some point teams/players just have to accept that the game they play for a living has injuries.

Genuine question...
How the hell is a defender supposed to bring down a 200lb+ world class athlete running full speed if he can't drag him down to the ground???
It's literaally the fricking definition of the word 'tackle'

Something has to give. I hate restricting tackling. But I also hate elite players getting hurt each week.

Sounds like you may be happier watching soccer.

NFL executive Jeff Miller cited the danger of the play Tuesday at the league meetings, saying the hip-drop tackle increases risk of injury by 25 times the rate of a standard tackle.
“It is an unforgiving behavior and one that we need to try to define and get out of the game,” Miller said, via Rob Maaddi of the Associated Press. “To quantify it for you, we see an injury more or less every week in the regular season on the hip-drop.”
Unforgivable behavior? Good lord why is this bitch arse an NFL executive?

Same idea behind banning the horse collar tackle. Broke a few legs then they banned it.

Our nation will be 250 years old in 2026 and to celebrate throwing off the yoke of tyranny and fighting for independence, this is how the NFL will look:

Was Jerry Rice or Emmitt Smith or Walter Payton or Tony Gonzalez or Curtis Martin ever hip dropped tackled?

Horse collar was banned because tackling someone by the fricking neck area to give them a Rock Bottom was never a good idea.
Hip drop just seems to be going way too far unless they just want to ban running backs. Cause a Bettis style RB ain’t being taken down without one of those or Burfict blindsiding them in the head.

No it's not. The horse collar is using the pads to pull someone down, that is more akin to a facemask. It gives the defender a firm handle to yank someone down by their equipment.
What they're talking about is using your body weight to drag someone to the ground. That is just called tackling. Yes, people get hurt when they get tackled sometimes. It's part of the sport.

This reads like an article from The Onion or Babylon Bee.

Look, the NFL told you what they're all about with their reaction to the whole Taylor Swift thing. Roger Goodell is more interested in appealing to 15 year old Swifties than actual sports fans. The NFL will legitimately be 7 on 7 tourneys so we can get rid of that icky violence.
