Agreed. That was a vicious and unnecessarily dangerous hit, and it isn’t the first time this player has done it.
I watched the play multiple times, and under today's trans, lbgqtafag rules, it would be called a roughness penalty, but not worthy of ejection.
To call it "vicious" means that you are breathlessly awaiting the new flag football event in the next Olympics.
Soon the refs will be wearing the pink, green, yellow & blue stripes instead of black and white, and all will be well in the nfl.
I watched the game, and that hit was unnecessary. I don’t remember if it was the same game, but I saw the defender actually pick up the ball carrier and throw him to the ground. That was unnecessary as well, and no penalty was called. It brought to mind Green Bay’s Charlie Martin throwing Chicago’s Jim McMahon to the ground back in the 80s. McMahon had a separated shoulder and I don’t remember what happened to Martin. I believe Green Bay was penalized for that one, however.
The hit was just dangerous. A thousand other ways it could have been done without aiming for the guy’s pons.
This is why I ditched the national felon league.
