NFL announces new rule changes designed to protect player safety
League owners voted unanimously to ban what’s known as a “hip-drop tackle” and said positioning of kickoffs will be drastically different, but some NFL stars say some changes go too far.

Can you imagine a super bowl being decided by a "hip drop tackle " flag" at the end of the game?

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Defense completely hamstrung. This league is garbage.
With the softening of the tackling, the emphasis will be on protecting the offensive side. I’m looking at numerous records being broken on that side of the ball and the game being literally almost unwatchable.
The headline before this video is crazy 😂😂😂
This is like restricting NASCAR, Indy, and Formula One racers to a limit of 35 mph.
Too late for Bo Jackson. Michael Strahan's comments are worthy.
Still not gunna watch the NFL. It's been 3 years
You want to make football safe. Don't play. Like telling a police officer don't respond to an armed robbery becsuse you might get shot. All jobs have dangers in them its excepted danger.

Amen!
A lot of players landed wrong and got injured in the past after jumping, so they should make a rule against jumping to protect the players…
On the one hand, owners have a duty to protect their workers. On the other hand, if these idiot players want to kill one another on the playing field, I'm not going to stop them.

sooo basically there going soft
With ridiculous rules like these I could not imagine Jim Brown in his heyday playing he would have 1000 yards……A GAME!!!!!!!!!!
What really needs to be changed it the helmet/ shoulder to knee defense backs love to use . “ Detroit lions I’m looking at you”
i actually like this suprisingly, atkeast the kick-off part😅
I like the kick off rule
They can do this?!
The kick-off rule might turn out ok. Seeing as how most kick-offs now just go out of the endzone for a touchback anyways.

You realize there just going to try to kick it harder now to get it back there cause there is a chance to get more yardage now if anything this will make it worse

They get payed millions and now they don't play like it's earned SMH
They might as well make it flag football
Reffs cant even get calls right now! Now tackling by wraping up is now illegal?😂 this might be the end of the NFL!
How about fix your dam refs
Can’t believe players get payed sooo much money for flag football! Money are payed exactly because it is a dangerous sport.
NFL is going to lose money on viewership
So change the name then SFL THE SISSY FOOTBALL 🏈 LEAGUE 👀
I will never enjoy this, it is not legitimate
Seeing Diddy at the beginning of the video is crazy
ruining the game of football: Nfl's top priority
Honestly, if players don't get injured on the field, then it's just not as much fun to watch 🙃
Players and Fans need to strike.👎
It’s gonna be flag football in the next 10 to 20 years
Turning into a powder puff league.
They've ruined the game... was a huge fan... so rigged never watch it again!
I like it
What A Joke!
The nfl is done.
IDONT EVEN WATCH FOOTBALL AND I THINK THIS RULE IS BULLSHIT !!!!!
NFL being too soft
Flag football ...
Flag football on the way
American football is boring and that’s why I watch rugby Rugby is real smash mouth football !
Your channel offers a lot of valuable insights.
NFL looks more like pee wee football 🏈. The pathetic NFL trying keep themselves for getting sued
A most fucked -up game. It's like sports but stupid-er. It cannot continue forever, we know how damaging it is. Schools should drop "football" like a bad habit.
