NFL profiting in more ways than one with suspension of Harrison

[43Hitman]

Very interesting blog about how the NFL is profiting off of Pics of Ben being hurt and McCoy moments after Harrison rung his bell. This is the type of hypocrisy that has me seriously considering not watching another NFL game again.

I'm sure it's just another "oversight." :rolleyes:

[tube517]

Hey Greg Aiello. I thought these types of pictures would not appear again. Yeah, that's what I thought. Dumbass.

Can anybody find the pictures of Chris Gocong's helmet-to-helmet hits on the goalline stand?

Helmet to helmet hits on a RB are legal.

Ya know, because the NFL is only concerned about brain damage to QBs. The other players don't matter. And only a few QBs matter....

yep, the McCoy photo after being "illegally hit" by Harrison is up for sale:

How much did Gates get fined for that one, I wonder? :scratchchin: Oh, that's right, he's an offensive player, so no flag and no fine. My bad.

safety and good calls..that's the NFL...

Hilarious that they are now "Pulling Down" the photos that show the VIOLENCE OF THE GAME!!!!

They pulled the Ben photo down too...lets see if they pull any of the facemask ones or helmets getting knocked off skull photos

Only after they get called on it, though.

I'm sure the apologists will come along and say "but the NFL has a 3rd party vendor that posts those pics and they have no control!" which is what the excuse was last year in a very similar thread to this one when they put a picture of Harrison's hit on Massaquoi up for sale that was also quickly yanked. To that, I say BULLSHIT. The richest sports league on the goddamn planet has enough resources at its disposal to make sure they don't get posted in the first place.

H-Y-P-O-C-R-I-S-Y

I'd also still like to see any images anyone can find of the the Gocong hits. In my estimation, two 235 lb men smashing into each other helmets first at 30 MPH MIGHT be a little more dangerous than what Harrison did...

[BnG_Hevn]

After seeing the hit, I think Harrison needs to go for the body. Why did he even go for the head anyway? Would it not have been just as easy to put his shoulder into McCoy's chest / stomach? Or was he going high for the chance to get to the ball?

Harrison needs to change his style. You can still hit hard and not hit the head.

He'll get nailed for that too. Does "putting too much of his weight into the tackle" ring a bell? As Zu very correctly pointed out in another thread, Harrison is a marked man and will have to play the rest of his career on eggshells because of it.

[Devilsdancefloor]

Hmmmm wonder what kluwe has to say about it

yep that sums it up

i think it is mccoys fault as much as harrisons he was aiming for the chest area and mccoy start in the oh shit fetal position before the hit.

I work overnight, and just woke up, and seeing these threads has made me wake up with so much anger. I wish it was like the WWF when Steve Austin used to beat the shit out of his boss and get away with it, but then again it was all scripted lol.

[steelerdude15]

Why would they have photos up like this? By the way, the two photos that came the Thursday night game have been removed from the website.

Of course. This knee jerk reaction commisioner never does anything proactive.

[zulater]

That is....................odd.

Antonio Brown was the victim of a helmet to helmet, launch type hit, by #28 of the Browns on the first play of the fourth quarter. That one was illegal, but uncalled and unnoticed by all but me it seems.

That's a great tackling technique, grab under the helmet edges and just yank, pretty simple. And no fines or penalties, YAY! BTW, what ever happened to teh new "whistle as soon as a helmet comes off" I havn't seen/heard that lately

[Chidi29]

Very disappointed in the NFL for this. And you definitely can't make the argument that the league really isn't focusing on regulating these things because it's just a website since they've already come out and said this wouldn't happen again.

I'm sure the league will sweep this under the rug, have no comment on it.

And then it'll happen again next year.

I know I'm the "apologist" around here (something I don't agree with but that's another discussion) but I've always said the NFL needs to be consistent. They definitely missed the boat here.

[Chidi29]

Aiello's tweet is in this article for those who want to look at his exact words last year.

Yep, if there is one thing Goodell and the NFL is consistent with, its HYPOCRISY.

See that really drives me crazy as well because, helmet to helmet only applies to some Qb's & Wr's. The new NFL sucks as far as I'm concerned.

McCoy photo prompts NFL to change procedures for selling game pictures


Last year, after a rash of helmet-to-helmet hits prompted the NFL to pay closer attention to the issue via more aggressive rules enforcement, the NFL also was selling photos of some of the helmet-to-helmet hits. Once made aware of the situation, the NFL asked the third party responsible for managing the league’s photo store to remove the images.

Hmmm....if they're really serious about not profitting from this, then maybe they'll take the money earned from selling all of the offending photos and either refund it or donate it somewhere.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.....yeah right.

[86WARD]

Same story was out last year...lol. Fucking hypocrites.

[Bluecoat96]

and I'm sure the same story will more than likely come out next year when the same thing happens AGAIN.

How is it that a bunch folks on the internet can find a picture like the McCoy hit, etc. well before some representatives from a multi-BILLION$ corporation(NFL)? What a load of shit.

So what did the league do last year to ensure this incident wouldn't happen again?

Did a rain dance and pray to the NFL Gods?

No, Goodell just gave a blowjob to Tom Brady while simultaneously giving a handjob to Robert Kraft. Come on Chidi....we all know rain dances don't work!
