Raiders DT Johnathan Hankins fined for ‘roughing the passer’ or what we more commonly call ‘sacking the quarterback’

In this addition of flag football weekly, we discuss the league’s still rampant problem with players trying to ‘tackle’ other players. Mots specifically, the disturbing trend of them attempting to tackle quarterbacks. Now, everyone know that’s not allowed in the NFL, and yet players continue to attempt it.

The latest disgusting display of uncivilized tackle football comes from Johnathan Hankins who went and took Chargers quarterback Rivers all the way to the ground. For that assault, he got off lightly, receiving just a $20,054 fine.

It infuriates me to think there may have been children watching this.
