Message: [QUOTE="ForCuseSake, post: 4012009, member: 266"] I'm not in favor of more officiating and I agree completely that the volume of rules is what's driving all sorts of officiating problems (especially in the NFL). It's a sad commentary on our culture when our sports continually add rules to legislate behavior on the field rather than simplify and give the players more autonomy. Targeting is a great example... A more efficient way to get head shots out of the game is to say you will sit out the same length of time the injured player is out. Wanna knock someone out with a head shot/concussion - take a seat for the rest of the day and lose your game check. If that penalty isn't severe enough to get it out of the game then up the ante by making it a turnover in addition to the penalties above. [/QUOTE]
