This topic is staring to become a big issue now for many. Just this past weekend in Pro football a lineman was tackled so hard by a member on the other team that he was left on the ground without movement. When the "injury team", as I call the people who assist those who seem to be hurt or injured on the field, came out it was apparent that the player may not be getting up easily as others may have. He in fact suffered a serious injury. He did not die but as of now he is paralyzed from the neck down, and had to have immediate surgery on his arrival to the hospital. It is unsure if he is paralyzed permanently or temporary.
When asked to call in and voice your opinion on the question mentioned earlier, a lot of callers said YES! They also felt like something should be done to these one's who intentionally use helmet-to-helmet contact in order to take down the opponent. The suggestion also went as far as to have the players suspended if they seem to still try to play rough on the field.
