Bounty in Sports

Crooked Saints In todays sports there is no place for bounties. Especially, in American football where the line between a physical play and a play with the intent to end players career is very thin. You can hear these words uttered by just about analyst or average Joe off the street that has an opinion on this situation. Recently after a lengthly investiagation the New Orleans were busted for putting bounties on other players during a game.

But people are kidding themselves if a player doesn't hit a player harder to knock him from being 90 percent to being 60 percent. With the exception of targeting an injury, Williams' terminology is not far off from just about any defensive coach on any level: "Kill the head and the body dies." That doesn't mean to decapitate. It's a war metaphor. In lamen terms "Take out the leader and the others will fall." Take out his intent to hurt, and his words could be meant in an entirely different way. But once any financial gain comes into play to injure another player that’s when it is completely wrong.
The culture of the NFL has changed you say? Under Roger Goodell, right? He has brought the hammer down and has changed the NFL into hypocrisy that it stands on today. While Roger has been having everyone looking one way, thinking that he is watching
