This last season, In response to the Detroit Lions losing a game in Houston because the Lions’ coach through a challenge flag on a long run. The refs actually would have called the play back, but since the coach through the flag, they couldn’t. The play stood and the game was over.

It doesn’t matter, it’s not about the fans. Fans will still attend games, TV ratings will continue to be very high.
To: Perdogg
I honestly don’t know how exactly a RB is suppose to do this. They will have to run upright and allow the defender to tackle them, which will probably result in more injuries.

Yup, that saved the Texan’s a$$ all right. Except the game was played in Detroit. :)

Yep, you can still lead with your shoulder. My way of slowing the number of concussions would be to take away the cages on the front of the helmets. You get one bar like George Blanda or Fred Biletnikoff.
To: Perdogg
I don't see why Rush is so against this. I have coached football on the youth, middle school, high school and college levels and defenders on all of those levels are not allowed to spear when tackling (striking the opponent with the top of the head). Maybe it's just because I've mostly been a defensive coach, but this seems to just put on the offensive side of the ball what already is a rule on the defensive side of the ball.
another rule that doesn't apply equally to the O and D sides of the ball is the face mask penalty. If a defender brushes the face mask of the ball carrier its a penalty. If the ball carrier stiff arms the defenders face mask, no penalty.
