The Selling of Useless Violence

For those that think the violence in the game, especially involving quarterback, and receivers,  should take a look at this site and the tape attached to it. Here we have last year’s rookie of the year on defense, Ndamukong Suh, getting hooked up with the blocker he was trying to get by, and as he is moving away from him after they are separated and the blocker was on the ground, he makes a concerted effort to come back and stomp him. For those of you that have been following this guy, this is not his first dance with this type of behavior. I officiated in an umpire’s slot for years in the National Federation and NCAA as a lineman, and you would not believe the violence even at that level. The NFL is going to have to try to stop this type of non-live ball action or they will make the game even closer to the gladiators than it is now. (Or is that what they are selling?)

And, of course, Suh couldn’t have lied better when he said he was trying to separate himself from the situation when the film shows him returning to kick the down player, and further lying about it and saying God knew what he was doing. Yes, Suh, God probably did.
