The National Football League has voted to pass several significant rules changes, one of which has a lot of defensive players pretty irate.
The league has voted unanimously. . .and without discussing it with the NFLPA, apparently. . .to ban the “hip drop” tackle, making it a play that can be called a 15-yard penalty and subject to fines and other scrutiny after the fact.
For those that require an explanation as to what a hip drop tackle is, here is an example of it, as well as a discussion of how ridiculous banning it is, via former NFL defensive lineman Seth Payne.
