Is it time to just throw James Harrison out of the league?

[NAHSTE]

Yes and yes, and it's a penalty, yes. "Dirty", though? He's running through contact. He pushes McCoy to the ground. His helmet caught McCoy's jaw, but most of the impact was from the neck down. It just looks bad because any impact with the helmet causes a huge whiplash (which is why people use it in the first place).

This is a big hit to me, nothing more. I don't see a guy that should be removed from the league at all here.

Yeah, I'm sure his forearms are what caused the concussion too.

You act as though it's news that Jake is a retard.

Well, in fairness, I was referring to DSpydr84's posts.

? He's running through contact.

Which in no way requires him to drop the crown of his helmet.

You again have no point in defending this.

He pushes McCoy to the ground.

Doesn't take a lot to get a concussion when you get hit in the sweet spot.

I just don't know how you could possibly see this as "running through contact". As I've posted he could have avoided the helmet to helmet entirely if he had just attempted to pull up. He had plenty of time. He chose not to, and should be punished severely for reasons that I've stated multiple times in this thread and you've chosen to ignore.

Eh...I think the discussion is getting a little diluted at this point...it's a pile on now against him. I think all he's saying is that he doesn't think it was a dirty hit, and arguably wasn't an illegal one either. Obviously there is room to disagree, I just don't understand why people need to be hateful about it too. Either way, I don't care, just drunk and trolling.

Harrison "pushed McCoy to the ground"?

I am not trying to pile on anyone right now. I am advocating more strict rules when it comes to helmet to helmet contact regardless of player because of the extraordinarily serious ramifications that come from it and using Harrison as an example (because he is the latest and greatest example) for why things need to change if the NFL cares the slightest about the livelihood of their players.

Also, cheers.

He had plenty of time on video to us. He's playing a game at full speed. I can't speak for him, but I'm sure it's a lot different.

I do this all the time man. I take a stance against something controversial for my own entertainment and let the groan bombs fly. I'm like Barry Sanders... leading the league in negative rep but still getting mine.

[SethMode]

Please explain how.

Really? I guess the easiest way to respond would be to say "professional sports does not equal corporate America".

Why even compare the two?

I don't think it's okay that exceptions are made for athletes, but that doesn't mean that exceptions AREN'T made for athletes.

I disagree. I watched it at full speed multiple times and there was enough time to not do what he did. Reaction times are not going to change regardless of location or emotion or anything for that matter. He had time to try to pull up if he wanted to (which he clearly didn't). And how does he get the benefit of the doubt anyways? If anything he should get the benefit of guilt.

I didn't say that, I just think you're picking a fight right now *gasp! NEVER!* ;)

Well you're not really getting yours because you just look idiotic.

Taking the wrong stance for the sake of it itself just makes you look even dumber. I don't grown people for their opinion but you seem pretty masochistic about it so I just might have to.

I didn't say you did.
