True. I agree. But in sports, where do you draw the line? In sports, those on the receiving end can play it to their advantage as well. For instance, a linebacker can drive in for a perfectly clean hit. But, a quarterback can then duck his head, and take a shoulder pad to the helmet, at a crucial time in the game. If said quarterback is skilled at his deception, he can draw a 15 yard penalty with ease, the difference between winning and losing. In basketball, it is very common for a skilled defensive player to draw fouls. He only needs to be willing to take the hit. It works both ways.
Sure.. just like drawing a foul in basketball. If you decide you want to take a hit and you get hurt.. I understand what you are saying. In football that’s never the issue. It’s very hard to draw a facemask or draw a blow to head... sure maybe the latter is possible.. but unlikely. I think you might be a basketball or baseball fan who doesn’t watch football. If that wasn’t the case you wouldn’t be saying such things.
