and you said the suspension penalty protects grown men from brain injuries. Statistically it likely does nothing to prevent injuries in a contact sport like football

That TCU hit is exactly why they created the targeting rule. That was textbook.

Rules are different for kids. And they should be

Yep, I still think we should protect grown men from unnecessary head injuries

Then you should only want flag football. Many of these guys are getting injured

No contradictions here. It isn't an "all or nothing" situation.

Here are mine: 38% decrease in concussions since introducing the rule.

Plays with targeting significantly increase risk of concussions in college

And in high school: targeting penalty associated with less concussions over time

In college, the ejection penalty has resulted in fewer infractions over time

Correct. College players have more mass and velocity to inflict brain damage.

A severe penalty is needed for deterrence.

No ejection in NFL. These are paid players now. It can be severe without

Most of them earn nothing close to what NFL players do, and it won't be a career
