Flag football is coming post Olympics..I'm not a fan of the changes. If it's unsafe, then just eliminate it and give the offense the ball at the 25 yard line and go from there. They're making the game unrecognizable with all these rule changes. Might as well just go to flag football.

Yeah, it would be like saying you can't hit a home run in Baseball or only score doing Layups in Basketball, it has been one of the most exciting aspects of the game, you never know when it is going to happen that you get a run back, and who could forget He could go all the way Chris Berman statements.I think the elimination of kickoffs would make the game unrecognizable personally.
The special teams coaches had it worked out pretty good so that teams would most likely try to keep the ball in play. Now, the rules committee just changed it and there will be no difference from last year when it comes to the amount of boring touchbacks.
This rule change results in way, way more real kick returns with more interesting outcomes. The returners and special teams players have renewed importance in their roles now, like it used to be.I'm not a fan of the changes.

That's just it. The game is no longer what I recognize as American football. Sure, the sport is dangerous, but no more so than competition cheerleading, motocross, and gymnastics, the only difference being participation rates, public visibility, and the amount of money involved. Let's reduce the risk of life threatening or severely crippling injuries such as those to the head and neck area, and deal with the rest of them with other measures such as protective equipment.We pay for contact football gawdamit...full contact football . Quit watering this game down please . Don't make us watch cornhole tournaments instead , cuz we will...we'll watch anything .
