[QUOTE="Zapphod, post: 974814, member: 57286"] I disagree, a tackle or action that has little regard for the safety of the ball carrier is pretty easy to identify and while I do understand the rather disingenuous response I would point out that the laws governing dangerous tackles have worked fairly well for the last 20 years. One of issues faced here is that the game has changed significantly since the mid-1980s and the response has been to continually apply band-aid over band-aid without ever really fixing the problem for the modern game. I agree, systems like that proposed run the risk of turning the game into American football and I am not sure anyone wants to turn an 80 minute game into a three hour marathon of legal interpretation.
