Jim Brown is also a racist moron. Pardon me for not looking to him for legitimacy.
It’s no different than looking to Emmitt Smith for legitimacy. The fact is runningbacks didn’t used to use their heads as battering rams, it’s a practice that’s gotten more popular as flags on the defense have become more prevalent when there’s helmet to helmet contact. Now the RBs get to stop ducking into tackles trying to draw that penalty. The rules committee said their reviewed all the week 16 games and this rule only would have been called 5 times, so the idea that this will destroy the game is laughable.
