    Or you will see more of this happen.

    I think players know instinctively when hurdles aren't safe and avoid them. You probably see more injuries when a player goes up high for a pass and someone tackles them in mid air or when they land. That's how Adam Thielan got hurt. It's football. I mean what are they going to kill hurdling over the goal line on 4th and inches? Walter Paytons legacy would be gone in modern days. Dude used to literally jump over the entire pile.

    We all live in stories... It seems to me that a definition of any living vibrant society is that you constantly question those stories... The argument itself is freedom. It's not that you come to a conclusion about it. Through that argument you change your mind sometimes... That's how societies grow. When you can't retell for yourself the stories of your life then you live in a prison... Somebody else controls the story. - S. Rushdie

    Either way he's leaving his feet and flying in the air and it's probably more dangerous since he had a zero percent chance of landing on his feet. Better chance he landed on his head or into a linebacker.


    Completely safe





    But this is dangerous?




    (both feet are on the ground, even more a few seconds before the picture)

    This is a stupid rule just like most on the list. Wish football was more like baseball. Quit fucking with the rules or it's going to look like this

    I'm really against that Rule that JMU fans are trying to get added to the game...the Rule that says if a receiver drops a pass that they usually catch, then it still counts as a catch.

    Every sport at every level has tweaked their rules every year since the sport was invented. Forward passes used to be illegal. Sports evolve. They aren't changing rules just to change them.

    As for hurdling vs. diving, hurdling is a foul at every level except NCAA and even then only the runner is allowed to do it. An offensive player diving over an opponent is legal at every level. I thinks that's a clear distinction of the safety of one act over the other. Just because there are examples of players being able to do it without contacting an opponent, it is extremely dangerous. I have no idea if there is support for passing this change but it is clearly a safety issue and very different from diving.

    If a receiver is considered wide open by the color commentator and drops a pass the offense shall be granted a do over. Just for JMU

    The sport as a whole is too hands on and bullyish and creates a culture of harassment. Tackling should eventually be replaced with some form of lazer tag or proximity indication.
