Just think of how they would fare if football was still played by the rules pre-1990s...
That was when football was a real blood and guts sport...
Exactly the only reason Tom Brady is playing football at 45 years old is due to the rule changes favoring offense and particularly how you can barely hit QB’s now without it being called a penalty.

NFL with all 24 hr coverage
Then Fox and ESPN takes over Coverage and says - these guys really love each other, players from one team go out with players from other teams, and they are like family, brothers.
Yet, YESTERDAY, a player hit a QB and injured him, and while he writhed in pain, the guy that injured him laid next to him and did 15-25 Snow Angels. Then when he went to the sideline as Medical personnel treated him, he did the Asleep gesture in celebration- that he put him to sleep.
And no players, coaches, announcers, networks (other than his own coach) - criticized his actions. In fact, Sunday Night FB, censored it - and didn’t even mention it while mocking the performance of the injured QB.
Isn’t Tony Dungy the fake moral arbiter for NFL coverage? He couldn’t find it in him to criticize the thug, like every other member of the Liberal Sports Media.
Some people want to be lied to, I don’t want the lies nor hypocrisy.

No, pre ‘70s. Definitely pre-‘80s.
