Is not legal grabbing the helmet . Or hitting when catching the ball signaling a fair catch . Or hitting the quarterback. The guy that throws the ball. You have 10 yards . And 4 tries to pass the 10 yards until you reach . The end zone . Is 6 points . And the kick is 1 point . Makes 7 .
Yogurtstain's Son wait they don’t? Then what happens when they get thrown through the air by a dude 100 pounds heavier than them? Wait, are you telling me that doesn’t happen?
American Football is a committee sport just talk talk talk its so boring just a lot of stopping and talking ! Rugby is NON STOP play no mucking around. Now go take off your stupid helmets and shoulder pads and try to play a proper game ! LOL
yep - they cannot allow the ball to be hiked at our highschool if the ambo isn't stationed at the end. On the rare occasion we needed it, we couldn't continue play until a replacement was there.
When I played it took like 20 minutes to get the kid secured and loaded, not sure how long he was in the hospital...but he was still out when they left.
You can't lead with the head, and helmet to helmet contact is now unacceptable. However, everything else you saw was pretty standard in American Football. Just imagine a 6'4" 245 lb LB who runs a 4.4 40, and benches 450 lbs, coming at you full speed...crazy!
"The g-forces must be similar to a car crash" you actually arent far off on that observation, the only sport that generates similar forces on hits is hockey.
@@lukebohannon2582 Yeah but those are a different kind of sports so it is a hard comparison there. But yeah they do have similar forces but it is more about pressure and location.
Cant lie those guys are some tough ass men. Only reason we hit harder is because we have pads and helmets. A lot easier to go full force when you arent as worried about injury.
It's why American football needs to be banned or significantly modified. EVERY SINGLE NFL player has CTE. Think about how many high school kids ... Middle school kids ... are getting CTE that affects them the rest of their lives. If all the cost of medical care, mental health care, incarcerations, etc. resulting from football injuries were factored into the cost of tickets to NFL games, it would cost more than anyone would be willing to pay. Right now, everyone else is paying for it. People who enjoy watching men literally sacrifice their lives for a game are sick in the head.
@@toiletpaper4 I'm all for the changes. CTE ruins lives, especially for those that haven't secured their NFLPA benefits yet. It's a shame they really haven't been able to find a way to extend RB shelf life. A lot of those guys are used up and cut before they can even get their big contract and left with broken bodies at the bottom rung of the real world.
@@pogfee 'most'? A lot of these are just solid shoulder tackles, at least in the first few minutes I saw; except for the illegal case of clipping, which by the looks of the era... Should still have been illegal.
“Rugby doesn’t need pads because we’re men!” Americans: our guys are built, and hit, like tanks. Pads are there so we don’t kill each other. Edit: So this blew up without me noticing. Let me clarify some things: I am and always have been American, I played football until freshman year, and I was the 6” 260 lb guy who sent receivers flying into the ground at Mach 4 with legal hits. Rugby is more of a “grab and throw” tackle rather than a “forcibly occupy the space where he currently is” tackle. Look at similar vids showing the hardest rugby hits and its sooo much softer than these ones.
@@Rebomassive Not a chance rugby guys could stand up to the pounding NFL guys deliver play after play. A 6'4" 240 lb. linebacker who runs the 40 in 4.5 seconds and hits like a freight train would end a rugby guy's career with legal hits.
@@wyleyhansen845 True that. I've seen clips where you could tell the guy had a broken leg, because LEGS DON'T BEND THAT WAY! These were all hits that people were going to feel, and know they got their bells rung, but not the kinds where you get the stretcher to haul them off the field.
Nathan’s Exotic fish. I’ve seen breaks, sprains, cuts, and bruises. The worst two though. One was a girl had her hand and forearm paralyzed. The second was a cracked skull.
@@nathansexoticfish849 Dude, you've got a tight group of people speed marching around with stuff in their sightline, carrying around big chunks of metal and not wearing any safety gear. Shit will happen...
“I think the pads and helmets make it more violent” Yeah, that’s a school of thought. Makes them feel more invincible, and they lay down harder licks. Some people will argue that if we take away helmets, players will be forced to calm down on the brutality. Maybe. But a lot of these guys are race cars in the red at all times, so who knows. For now, they’re cracking down on hits to the head significantly. Many of these shots here aren’t legal. That’s not to say don’t don’t happen anymore. They do. But the crazy stuff we saw even just a few years back with guys like Brian Dawkins and Ed Reed wouldn’t fly today. Look, both Rugby and A.F. are manly sports. Rugby can get away with being sans pads and helmets because it’s a little more horizontal of a game. The forward pass in the NFL adds a verticality which leads to nasty collisions. And yeah, it is like being in a small car accident over and over and over again. Meanwhile, the toothless NHL players are sitting back and saying “yeah? Add speed, include punches, and throw weapons in their hands.” Hockey is a different type of savage.
Exactly none of that is accurate. The extreme hits are not a product of the pads and helmets making them feel invincible. The extreme hits *are the reason they started wearing pads and helmets in the first place* -- seriously, the violence predates the padding and helmets. It was in fact President Teddy Roosevelt himself that told them if they didn't do something about all the men *dying* in every game he would have Congress ban the sport. (Edit: *18* men had been killed playing football that year) The pads and helmets were NOT introduced so they could hit harder as clearly they were already doing that... it was so that men would stop getting KILLED by that extreme violence.
We had ambulances at all our our games (4th grade up to high school) It wasn't like that till some kid who was in the 7th grade at the time broke his back.
To clarify: -Yes, leading with your shoulder is allowed(even if you don’t wrap up) -No, you can’t lead with your helmet or hit the ball carrier’s helmet with yours -No, you can’t grab their facemask to tackle them
@@sxionfanboi5082 have you ever went to a football game? I’ve even took hits like this in middle school. There’s a kid right now that’s 6 ft and only 10 years old playing football for an elementary school
“Are these hits not illegal?...” Americans: “Oh buddy, this is nothing close to illegal in the U.S. These guys are just having fun getting payed millions...:
Mmm no a lot of these are illegal lol, to many hits leading with the crown of you’re helmet and you can’t hit a receiver trying to get a pass before he gets it and if he has his back turned.
Except for that big squishy brain your bucket holds. Pads don't stop concussions or the cumulative effects of them. Or broken limbs, busted knees, torn ligaments, neck and back injuries, or the effects of steroid abuse as Lyle Alzado found out.
So many rugby guys on TH-cam figuring out how hard some hits are in the NFL. In general, leading with the helmet, hitting a defenseless player, and grabbing the helmet are discouraged
Yea i laughed too...rmft bub! I know you probably watched his "best college football traditions video" and i bet you were wanting to yell through the screen when he asked what team was singing "dixie land delight"also huh? lol 🐘
You’re right, the helmet and pads allow for much more forceful impacts, because players feel like they are “armored”. This is why there’s so much CTE in many former NFL players, including defensive players who were usually dishing out the hits. The NFL and colleges have in recent years outlawed spiking with your helmet or taking shots at someone’s head, so many of those hits in older videos would be illegal now.
Most of the hits are legal but there is a no helmet to helmet contact rule so all of the clips where the persons helmet came off the person who hit them would get a 10000 dollar fine and put out of the game
"Can you grab them by the helmet and pull them down?" ...Yes, whenever a referee is distracted. You can also punch them after the play if enough players are standing around.
1) you can’t grab the helmet 2) no head to head 3) if they’re not looking or if you go for them not the ball it’s illegal Most other stuff is legal that’s why we wear pads
Not even. You just need to be on the front side of the shoulder pads at any angle. You can blindside block someone from the front (or side as long as you are "blocking" at an angle from the front of the shoulder pads)
You guys are all correct I should have been more clear. I was mostly thinking about hits to a defenseless receiver when writing this comment, which is illegal.
tjato r you can hit them if they don’t have the ball and you can hit them if they aren’t looking at you you just can’t hit someone from the back and you can’t hit someone not close to the guy with the ball like no targeting
LittleAsianBoy clearly you don’t watch football or at least don’t know what you want as a fan because it’s not getting soft it’s getting clean the hits are just as hard they are just clean so we get the privilege to watch Peyton Manning and drew breese play for more then a year just cause we are done with head hunting doesn’t mean it’s soft quit your complaining and go back to your couch and play madden or something honestly football is better with out people like you shiting on athletes
nith the valiant thank you someone has knowledge football isnt soft never has been never will be just a lot more clean like you said and they get clean so we don’t absolutely destroy people
@@niththevaliant Bullshit!!! Yes there's still big hits but the game has gotten softer. Quarterbacks don't have to worry about getting creamed, it's one of the reason QB records have gone far beyond the days of old. Can't twist the QBs legs, can't smash him across the face, just hold him for 2secs and the refs blow the whistle...hell tackle him to the ground and you're assured a penalty. Can't helmet to helmet spear tackle anymore...hit close to the helmet and get a penalty. Hell yeah, the game is softer. What you're calling "cleaner" is a judgement based on the new safer/politically correct football rules...and not the reality of old football rules. Also, the new QB and receiver records ought to be marked with *...after pussy rules implemented. It's not the same anymore...2-3decades more and it will become flag football. Hitting in the NFL | The Old NFL vs. the New NFL - th-cam.com/video/FBrTFPzzcrE/w-d-xo.html Starting @7:00 shows you the new football rules. And this video is dated...it doesn't include the newest NFL rules. PS - I'm a 60+ yr old who played just about every lineman position offense and defense...I was never in the NFL, but I played and watched...without a doubt it's softer today. Again, I'm calling...Bullshit!!
Rugby isn’t soccer when you get hit in rugby you can’t drop the ball and have to place the ball which probably wouldn’t be possible getting hit like that
@@thatoneperson9680 But people shouldn't die or become paralyzed for our entertainment. These would not all be illegal hits today. Not by a long shot. Turn on any NFL game today and you can still see clean hits just as hard as some of these.
@@dacypher22 i am not saying i wanna see hard hits but i also like hitting hard too, i am a sophomore and this unnecessary roughness is just ridiculous, anyone in any shape and size can get hit hard and get back up, and it is football, there are midgets that have to take a hit from a guy that is over 6 foot but they are still going
OMG Are you talking about the one on MNF against the Broncos where Largent fumbled after a hit, then after the guy picked it up and avoided tackles for like 10-15 seconds, Largent laid his ass out, made him fumble and picked it up?
Answer to: Can you hold there helmets and pull them down? No, very much not. It is an illegal face mask and most likey you will get a penalty for "x" amount of yards back.
If your kid wants to play and is truly passionate about it let him. It’s only a problem if you force him to play and he doesn’t want to, that’s a recipe for disaster.
Since the late 90s things started getting soft in the sport due to long-term injuries specifying head concussions. But your first reaction was honestly the best one
Though, generally speaking, that just doesn't happen that often. A lot probably have it to some extent; but enough to be the life issue they make it? Due to some colossal PR campaigns from activists and lawyers, there seems to be a belief that almost all NFL players end up being completely disabled by old age... Which flies in the fact... Most of our legendary players and coaches still being productive and interesting members of society quite a bit later. Elway is still owner of the Broncos, making smart arguments on TV and running a business, exercises. And no, he isn't a fluke, find a player you like who left awhile ago, and you will find MORE OFTEN THAN NOT [as in, not without exception, but the largest group by far] - are not in fact, disabled people today. Even though they still took so much extra punishment in the NFL. And for that kind of money, with the risk being RELATIVELY low? I would do it. Not a question.
@@Taigiry Ok, how bout a running back? The most contact heavy position there is, cuz everytime you are up, you are gonna be smacking someone, trying to shove them out of the way, or get smacked down yourself? My favorites were always Jim Brown, on account of his legendary multi sport success, Adrian Peterson, and Bo. Jim Brown, already well past 50 - is still more than coherent to be RUNNING around in Heisman house commercials, if you have watched them, and be giving full length interviews where I can hear NO incoherence; not disabled. Adrian Peterson is 34, so her probably shouldn't count yet, but because he's my favorite, I'll just note he is still capable of physically playing a full contact sport with the Redskins, and the mental faculties to fully understand complex play charts and interviews without fumbling around. Ok, what about Bo Jackson? Still alive, fully mobile, and even doing interviews without fumbling, and we can see him doing much harder things than tying his shoes when we see him in the media these days; the only dumb thing about him is - he is a hypocrite; he said in an interview what was it, last year? That because what we know about medical science now, he probably wouldn't ever let his kids risk playing; why, scared they might end up just like you? If they want to risk their health, why not? Would you let them be a police officer or a soldier? It's a coin flip in either case, but one pays way more. And you might not have known about CTE risks, but you knew at any moment you could run a play and be paralyzed for life, extremely rare, but possible, and you yourself CHOSE to take that risk. That's what I'd say to him. Ok, so yeah, I just listed and went through my favorite running backs, my point is still 3/3. To add insult to injury, all three of them have had multiple concussions and shit from their contact at several times in their career, even Bo's shorter one decades ago [which if what all the fear mongers say, should hit him now anyway]. Care to try again? I am not saying there aren't some people who don't get all of these injuries in full; or even that a lot of them might have it to a smaller degree; but if we are going with "are most being disabled late in life"; the answer is - no. And not only is that no; but they get paid extremely well for that. I really, do not see the problem; and now the NFL has done things like adding the targeting rule, and concussion protocol; so now there really isn't an excuse to be crying against people wanting to play it.
Yeah most were legal, some dirty, but there's A LOT of these hits that were legal at that time but would draw a penalty today. They are a lot more concerned with players lives after the sport than they were then. Those hits to defenseless players, blocking someone when they're not looking at full speed like on a peel back block, and stuff like that would draw flags now because that's where the really nasty head injuries happen. And I'm my opinion those hits were always dirty, even if they were legal. I've never seen a block to a defenseless player like that, that ever needed to be as hard as they are here. You could be equally effective as a block at 1/3rd the intensity.
my question was why is it called football only 1% of the game the ball is kicked with the foot isn't american rugby a more accurate and more logic name
I’m an Aussie who has lived in America for almost 3 years now. BEFORE I moved here I USE to think American football was for girls, I’ve since watched 2 full seasons of American football and I concluding by saying.... it ain’t for girls.
I love that he saying that we must have ambulances waiting on the side of the field LOL that's funny as hell. His reactions are awesome. He's absolutely flummoxed and floored by some of these hits. No you cannot grab them by the helmet and pull them down. I played for one play in high school and learned football was not the sport for me. The quarterback sent me across the middle for a hospital pass and I needed one just about. The defense of back across from me looked like he had just got out of prison. He was huge at least 6 inches taller than me and easily 50 pounds heavier. He hit me like a Mack truck and I laid on the field for a good 2 1/2 minutes and they were thinking stretcher but I got up and manage to get help off the field and they took me into the locker room and I gave them back their pads in their uniform I said you know this is not for me I am a great fan but God damn that hit Taught me all kinds of things. I mean I saw Jesus when I got hit.At the moment of impact even he was crying.
5'4" 145 lbs receiver as a freshman. Worst mistake of my life making varsity. I swore those dudes were 25, had personal trainers, steroid doctors, and signed by Nike..
I’m in middle school and I play d and o line so I don’t know how it feels but it was this one dude who was really big and I stopped after the play and he just kept blocking me it was embarrassing
The thing about American football vs rugby is that in American football you're always running at 100% during the short time of the play while in rugby it's more like soccer where there can be bursts of speed but on average it's more of an endurance game. That plus the fact that suiting up in pads and a helmet takes the fear out of players, subconsciously making them hit harder with less hesitation.
Kiwi: Their careers must be finished... Truth: Though a couple of those hits did end careers, most weren't off the field more than a play or two, if any.
@Vishya Knewdat I played high school and then later in life started a medical business in stem cells. We treat many pro players from the 90's and now 2019 who suffer from traumatic brain injuries. Many are suicidal and some have killed themselves and you know their names. SO saying that "none of these guys were crippled" is not true. its long term.
@@kiwikicker9263 oh and in answer to your question 97% of those hits are legal. The ones that are head 2 head and grabbing the helmet are not. And yes there usually are paramedics and ambulances along with team doctors are on standby for injury
So I watch your other channel and I saw your 2nd podcast with you and your wife explaining your journey so I came here to see this.

Yes sir they would have ambulance onside the field even at high-school games..
Also half of these are college and high-school to which high-school anyway idk if still legal but dcleans or blindsided blocks were encouraged
You should go back and look at photos and watch footage before they were made to wear all of the safety gear they still hurt each other just as bad

“Rugby doesn’t need pads because we’re men!”
Americans: our guys are built, and hit, like tanks. Pads are there so we don’t kill each other.
Edit: So this blew up without me noticing. Let me clarify some things:
I am and always have been American, I played football until freshman year, and I was the 6” 260 lb guy who sent receivers flying into the ground at Mach 4 with legal hits. Rugby is more of a “grab and throw” tackle rather than a “forcibly occupy the space where he currently is” tackle. Look at similar vids showing the hardest rugby hits and its sooo much softer than these ones.
Now if they can do something about all those brain injuries
Sorry but there are less rules about tackling but a rugby player would destroy an nfl player
Jakob Bryce lol no
Yeah NO!
@@Rebomassive
Not a chance rugby guys could stand up to the pounding NFL guys deliver play after play. A 6'4" 240 lb. linebacker who runs the 40 in 4.5 seconds and hits like a freight train would end a rugby guy's career with legal hits.
"Is this legal?"
Me: *laughs in American*
If we're talking in game, some are some definitely are not. Some were, some aren't anymore.
"Is this legal?"
Me: Pauses .....................Yep.
@Charming Billy have you not watched hockey? Even the canadians like their sports violent.
3:02 the double team was legal for a very long time. I do believe it was made illegal in 2017? Maybe 18?
@North End Productions Remember when they use to have public executions?
"is there an ambulance waiting by the side?" lol funny you should ask because yes there is
Ambulance. Doctors. X-Ray machines and clinics in the better stadiums, from High School to College to Pro.
DJ C-Dub it’s funny because after all these clips the players mostly get up
@@wyleyhansen845 True that. I've seen clips where you could tell the guy had a broken leg, because LEGS DON'T BEND THAT WAY! These were all hits that people were going to feel, and know they got their bells rung, but not the kinds where you get the stretcher to haul them off the field.
Yes they always have an ambulance ready.
cjpreach shit depending on where you go in the U.S even youth leagues are getting up there along with middle schools/Junior Highs
I actually laughed when he said, "you must have ambulances on the side of the field."
Like you dont? Thats hilarious to me for a variety of reasons
If you think hits like these are bad to watch, you should hear them live in a stadium. Sounds like thunder cracking.

Alternate title: "Man learns why hardcore American Football players all have brain injuries."
Not all have brain injuries. A LARGE number of players prior to the last 20 years do though but since 2000 those injuries have dropped dramatically.
Because they DON'T teach the proper way to tackle or block anymore. Add in the wussy rules they're still adding.

“I think the pads and helmets make it more violent”
Yeah, that’s a school of thought. Makes them feel more invincible, and they lay down harder licks. Some people will argue that if we take away helmets, players will be forced to calm down on the brutality.
Maybe. But a lot of these guys are race cars in the red at all times, so who knows.
For now, they’re cracking down on hits to the head significantly. Many of these shots here aren’t legal. That’s not to say don’t don’t happen anymore. They do. But the crazy stuff we saw even just a few years back with guys like Brian Dawkins and Ed Reed wouldn’t fly today.
Look, both Rugby and A.F. are manly sports. Rugby can get away with being sans pads and helmets because it’s a little more horizontal of a game. The forward pass in the NFL adds a verticality which leads to nasty collisions. And yeah, it is like being in a small car accident over and over and over again.
Meanwhile, the toothless NHL players are sitting back and saying “yeah? Add speed, include punches, and throw weapons in their hands.” Hockey is a different type of savage.
I was just about to say, watch Hockey hits next.
Exactly none of that is accurate. The extreme hits are not a product of the pads and helmets making them feel invincible. The extreme hits *are the reason they started wearing pads and helmets in the first place* -- seriously, the violence predates the padding and helmets. It was in fact President Teddy Roosevelt himself that told them if they didn't do something about all the men *dying* in every game he would have Congress ban the sport. (Edit: *18* men had been killed playing football that year) The pads and helmets were NOT introduced so they could hit harder as clearly they were already doing that... it was so that men would stop getting KILLED by that extreme violence.

Jerry The Platypus I think it’s a law in most places.
This
To clarify:
-Yes, leading with your shoulder is allowed(even if you don’t wrap up)
-No, you can’t lead with your helmet or hit the ball carrier’s helmet with yours
-No, you can’t grab their facemask to tackle them

Markus Garrido I’m with you and they also protect the Qbs way to much in the NFL it’s ridiculous

Americans: “Oh buddy, this is nothing close to illegal in the U.S. These guys are just having fun getting payed millions...:
Mmm no a lot of these are illegal lol, to many hits leading with the crown of you’re helmet and you can’t hit a receiver trying to get a pass before he gets it and if he has his back turned.
Some have been made illegal over the years, hence the defenseless receiver and Helmet-to-Helmet rules
Yeah, a lot of the ones in the video are illegal today
Most of these plays were CFB games, so their pay is approximately $0
The legs to head one was illigal.
From an American football player i can say that the pads protect you WAY more than it looks like
Except for that big squishy brain your bucket holds. Pads don't stop concussions or the cumulative effects of them. Or broken limbs, busted knees, torn ligaments, neck and back injuries, or the effects of steroid abuse as Lyle Alzado found out.

Lmfao every time within the first 5 mins "is this legal"
I love that his first words are "is this legal?"
So many rugby guys on TH-cam figuring out how hard some hits are in the NFL. In general, leading with the helmet, hitting a defenseless player, and grabbing the helmet are discouraged
Yea i laughed too...rmft bub! I know you probably watched his "best college football traditions video" and i bet you were wanting to yell through the screen when he asked what team was singing "dixie land delight"also huh? lol 🐘
Helmet to helmet is new just put in , in the past few years
"Is this legal?"
*Laughs in CTE*
I laughed way too hard at this
Him saying there must be ambulances on the side of the field
Actually: there are
You’re right, the helmet and pads allow for much more forceful impacts, because players feel like they are “armored”. This is why there’s so much CTE in many former NFL players, including defensive players who were usually dishing out the hits. The NFL and colleges have in recent years outlawed spiking with your helmet or taking shots at someone’s head, so many of those hits in older videos would be illegal now.
*jokingly* "they must have ambulances waiting on the side!"
yes. that is a reality. we even had an ambulance at every highschool game
Not always, not around here.
We had an ambulance at every football game for sure
Yeah I’ve seen many a bone breaks at high school games
No. Not an ambulance. Full medical staff with facilities waiting on the sideline.
Heck, they had an ambulance at every middle school games when I played.
About 85% of those hits are perfectly legal
Well nowadays? ... Hell no lol.
85% of those are against the rules now. Defenseless player.
try watching rugby league bro
@@parradizeestudios5680 you realize this guy IS a rugby fan and is reacting to everyday hits in football.
Ya a lot of them are blindside or targeting
“They must have ambulances on the side” they have ambulances at our games and we are middle school
I understand you my cousin last year when I was on the sideline broke a kids femur he hit him so hard
Exactly
Most of the hits are legal but there is a no helmet to helmet contact rule so all of the clips where the persons helmet came off the person who hit them would get a 10000 dollar fine and put out of the game
permanently destroyed my knee freshman year of high school along with my lower back liking to slip disks on a regular basis,
same
"Can you grab them by the helmet and pull them down?" ...Yes, whenever a referee is distracted. You can also punch them after the play if enough players are standing around.
It's why I wore gloves designed to stop paintballs...legal brass knuckles lol🤣
1) you can’t grab the helmet
2) no head to head
3) if they’re not looking or if you go for them not the ball it’s illegal
Most other stuff is legal that’s why we wear pads
Ur allowed to hit them if there not looking
Exactly
Not even. You just need to be on the front side of the shoulder pads at any angle. You can blindside block someone from the front (or side as long as you are "blocking" at an angle from the front of the shoulder pads)
You guys are all correct I should have been more clear. I was mostly thinking about hits to a defenseless receiver when writing this comment, which is illegal.
tjato r you can hit them if they don’t have the ball and you can hit them if they aren’t looking at you you just can’t hit someone from the back and you can’t hit someone not close to the guy with the ball like no targeting
And most of us consider modern day football “soft” compared to back in the day
Bulldog modern day football is soft
LittleAsianBoy clearly you don’t watch football or at least don’t know what you want as a fan because it’s not getting soft it’s getting clean the hits are just as hard they are just clean so we get the privilege to watch Peyton Manning and drew breese play for more then a year just cause we are done with head hunting doesn’t mean it’s soft quit your complaining and go back to your couch and play madden or something honestly football is better with out people like you shiting on athletes
nith the valiant thank you someone has knowledge football isnt soft never has been never will be just a lot more clean like you said and they get clean so we don’t absolutely destroy people
nith the valiant I watch football a lot that’s the only sport I play and compared to back then it is soft I know people who have even said that
@@niththevaliant Bullshit!!! Yes there's still big hits but the game has gotten softer. Quarterbacks don't have to worry about getting creamed, it's one of the reason QB records have gone far beyond the days of old. Can't twist the QBs legs, can't smash him across the face, just hold him for 2secs and the refs blow the whistle...hell tackle him to the ground and you're assured a penalty. Can't helmet to helmet spear tackle anymore...hit close to the helmet and get a penalty.
Hell yeah, the game is softer. What you're calling "cleaner" is a judgement based on the new safer/politically correct football rules...and not the reality of old football rules. Also, the new QB and receiver records ought to be marked with *...after pussy rules implemented. It's not the same anymore...2-3decades more and it will become flag football.

You have players like that one guy who lost part of his finger in a championship, and then the other guy who faked getting hit on camera

Rugby isn’t soccer when you get hit in rugby you can’t drop the ball and have to place the ball which probably wouldn’t be possible getting hit like that

Pong Ping yeah I always feel weird when he asked if that’s legal but still he’s never played I’ve played for 5 years.
Since the late 90s things started getting soft in the sport due to long-term injuries specifying head concussions. But your first reaction was honestly the best one
Most of the time, it hurts just as bad to deliver a helmet hit. Anyway, it's all good fun... Until you hit 50 and can't tie your own shoes.
Though, generally speaking, that just doesn't happen that often. A lot probably have it to some extent; but enough to be the life issue they make it? Due to some colossal PR campaigns from activists and lawyers, there seems to be a belief that almost all NFL players end up being completely disabled by old age... Which flies in the fact... Most of our legendary players and coaches still being productive and interesting members of society quite a bit later. Elway is still owner of the Broncos, making smart arguments on TV and running a business, exercises. And no, he isn't a fluke, find a player you like who left awhile ago, and you will find MORE OFTEN THAN NOT [as in, not without exception, but the largest group by far] - are not in fact, disabled people today. Even though they still took so much extra punishment in the NFL.
And for that kind of money, with the risk being RELATIVELY low? I would do it. Not a question.
@@adrianbundy3249 You trolling? Pick a position that's prone to contact for an example. Don't discount the hidden damage either
@@Taigiry Ok, how bout a running back? The most contact heavy position there is, cuz everytime you are up, you are gonna be smacking someone, trying to shove them out of the way, or get smacked down yourself?
My favorites were always Jim Brown, on account of his legendary multi sport success, Adrian Peterson, and Bo. Jim Brown, already well past 50 - is still more than coherent to be RUNNING around in Heisman house commercials, if you have watched them, and be giving full length interviews where I can hear NO incoherence; not disabled. Adrian Peterson is 34, so her probably shouldn't count yet, but because he's my favorite, I'll just note he is still capable of physically playing a full contact sport with the Redskins, and the mental faculties to fully understand complex play charts and interviews without fumbling around. Ok, what about Bo Jackson? Still alive, fully mobile, and even doing interviews without fumbling, and we can see him doing much harder things than tying his shoes when we see him in the media these days; the only dumb thing about him is - he is a hypocrite; he said in an interview what was it, last year? That because what we know about medical science now, he probably wouldn't ever let his kids risk playing; why, scared they might end up just like you? If they want to risk their health, why not? Would you let them be a police officer or a soldier? It's a coin flip in either case, but one pays way more. And you might not have known about CTE risks, but you knew at any moment you could run a play and be paralyzed for life, extremely rare, but possible, and you yourself CHOSE to take that risk. That's what I'd say to him.
Ok, so yeah, I just listed and went through my favorite running backs, my point is still 3/3. To add insult to injury, all three of them have had multiple concussions and shit from their contact at several times in their career, even Bo's shorter one decades ago [which if what all the fear mongers say, should hit him now anyway]. Care to try again? I am not saying there aren't some people who don't get all of these injuries in full; or even that a lot of them might have it to a smaller degree; but if we are going with "are most being disabled late in life"; the answer is - no. And not only is that no; but they get paid extremely well for that. I really, do not see the problem; and now the NFL has done things like adding the targeting rule, and concussion protocol; so now there really isn't an excuse to be crying against people wanting to play it.

Yeah most were legal, some dirty, but there's A LOT of these hits that were legal at that time but would draw a penalty today. They are a lot more concerned with players lives after the sport than they were then. Those hits to defenseless players, blocking someone when they're not looking at full speed like on a peel back block, and stuff like that would draw flags now because that's where the really nasty head injuries happen. And I'm my opinion those hits were always dirty, even if they were legal. I've never seen a block to a defenseless player like that, that ever needed to be as hard as they are here. You could be equally effective as a block at 1/3rd the intensity.

No you cannot grab them by the helmet and pull them down. I played for one play in high school and learned football was not the sport for me. The quarterback sent me across the middle for a hospital pass and I needed one just about. The defense of back across from me looked like he had just got out of prison. He was huge at least 6 inches taller than me and easily 50 pounds heavier. He hit me like a Mack truck and I laid on the field for a good 2 1/2 minutes and they were thinking stretcher but I got up and manage to get help off the field and they took me into the locker room and I gave them back their pads in their uniform I said you know this is not for me I am a great fan but God damn that hit Taught me all kinds of things. I mean I saw Jesus when I got hit.At the moment of impact even he was crying.
They instituted pads to *"reduce on-field fatalities"*
😂 yeah getting hit in the head at 28mph is pretty deadly

I’m in middle school and I play d and o line so I don’t know how it feels but it was this one dude who was really big and I stopped after the play and he just kept blocking me it was embarrassing
The thing about American football vs rugby is that in American football you're always running at 100% during the short time of the play while in rugby it's more like soccer where there can be bursts of speed but on average it's more of an endurance game. That plus the fact that suiting up in pads and a helmet takes the fear out of players, subconsciously making them hit harder with less hesitation.
ATinyWaffle facts
ATinyWaffle well said
perfect.
Tuck3r that’s actually an opinion lol learn buddy
ROCKSTAR NOTICE why’re you being rude to a stranger behind a screen? They did nothing to harm you in any way why be angry
“They must have ambulances lined up next to the field”..... lol yep.. they do and they are used.
New Zealand people when they see a big hit : is he ok?? Americans: * dies laughing
Copsatthedisco Tictok he’s fine he’s just got six fingers broken and his pelvis crushed he’ll be back in at the beginning of 2nd half
Me when I am watching college football
Go dawgs
@@uwmgantoo8862 lmfao
It really maybe your just kind f’ed up
Kiwi: Their careers must be finished...
Truth: Though a couple of those hits did end careers, most weren't off the field more than a play or two, if any.
@Vishya Knewdat I played high school and then later in life started a medical business in stem cells. We treat many pro players from the 90's and now 2019 who suffer from traumatic brain injuries. Many are suicidal and some have killed themselves and you know their names. SO saying that "none of these guys were crippled" is not true. its long term.
@Vishya Knewdat imagine making this obviously wrong comment.
Vishya Knewdat um the hit around the 3 min mark resulted in a broken back so your statement is not true thanks for playing
@@MadManMatrix clearly missed the word "most" which does not mean the same as "all"
"MOST weren't off the field more than a play or two."
@@OkieVet918 clearly missed the first sentence "Zero of those hits resulted in injury."
A full speed NFL collision is the equivalent of a 35 mph car crash
Richard Smith man thats scary! No wonder concussion and CTE is a problem in the league!
@@kiwikicker9263 oh and in answer to your question 97% of those hits are legal. The ones that are head 2 head and grabbing the helmet are not. And yes there usually are paramedics and ambulances along with team doctors are on standby for injury
So I watch your other channel and I saw your 2nd podcast with you and your wife explaining your journey so I came here to see this. NFL players now are no longer allowed to LEAD with their helmet as it is called TARGETING! Also, the Quarterback is much more protected in today's game as was in years gone by! Love your family and your reactions. Hope you enjoy your trip in America! Hello from Southern Indiana near Louisville, Kentucky!
Ditto! 😃 Same reason I'm here, and same sentiments!
