View topic - Harrison's problem

The NFL needed to show that they were "doing something" about concussions. Make no doubt about it, they viewed it as a serious problem, potentially costing them a lot of money (99.9% of what motivates the owners). They came up with the system of reviewing hits and fining players - See? We're doing something, we're fixing the problem. The problem isn't that we've been encouraging vicious hits since the inception of the league; Next, they needed a scapegoat, a patsy, a fall guy. Somebody to make an example of.

There's James Harrison. Ferocious player. NFL Defensive Player of the Year. Yet, someone with a reputation of being a bit of a headhunter. Also someone who has done zilch to cultivate an image that fans (other than homeys) can relate to. Not a single endorsement contract anywhere. Perfect. So Harrison becomes the poster child of the NFL's get-tough policy on helmet-to-helmet hits. Who cares if Ray Lewis is actually a much bigger perpetrator of such crimes? He's worked hard to rehab his image, and it's put money in our pockets. Harrison is the perfect fall guy.

Problem is, James keeps volunteering for the job, over and over. Step right on up, James, we need somebody like you to serve as an example of what a great job we're doing. He's making Goodell and the owners happy as clams.

A offensively driven, player safety conscious world is a tough place to be the NFL's top hit man. Although actually, Harrison was having a quiet season with regards to illegal hits. Prior to the hit on Colt McCoy, James hadn't received a penalty flag in over a year. Clearly he was being more diligent in how he attacked his opponents. Unfortunately for Harrison, he is still in the cross hairs of a major business entity looking to make a statement.

By now it's clear that James Harrison is the poster boy being used by the NFL to spear head the safety agenda. What's not clear is what standard the league office will use to judge other repeat offenders.

Here is how I see it. The NFL vs The Steelers. Little does assfuck Goodell and the rumpclowns realize that they are feeding the Steelers RED MEAT. This is EXACTLY what the Steelers need. Everyone hates us. When Harry comes back he will EAT MOTHERFUCKING QBS instaed of tackling them. ON TO THE MOTHERFUCKING SUPER BOWL WHERE WE WILL SHOVE THE LOMBARDI TROPHY CLEAN UP GOODELLS RECTUM!

Suspension not dropped
This makes little sense. Like a Milledgeville co-ed in Calc or Orgo - I don't understand.

Harrison himself probably said it best:

"17 games, 1000+ snaps, 100+ tackles, 12+sacks and 2 forces fumbles since my last incident and I get a suspension for a football play!"

Ben got his ankle hurt on a tackle. Then, later in the game, on at least one other tackle they started going after Ben's ankle. Then Harrison whacked McCoy. Coincidences? Maybe. But that's old style football and the pussies and the fags of today don't like it.

That's what happens when MADF ("Mothers Against Defensive Football") gets a campaign rolling...

Thats also what happens when you get the ACLU (ass clowns like U goodell) involved . All they needed was to suspend Harry for the SF game. Thats why it was only a 1 gamer. If we would have a contender next week it would have been 2 games. I GUARONFUCKING TEE IT
