Informative Speech On Nfl Rules
Specific Purpose: To inform you about three new NFL rules that are currently used.
Central Idea: The NFL is improving the way for the players not to get hurt.
Preparation Outline
Introduction:
I. Who in here have recognized that the NFL changed the rules in the past year?
II. I have seen on TV and read online that the NFL changed the rules to help with so many injuries to decrease.
III. Today, I am going to tell you about three new NFL football rules that already taken place this past year. First, I am going to talk about unsportsmanlike conduct. Next, we are going to talk about horse collar. Last, I am going to talk about extra point.
Body:
I. Unsportsmanlike conduct.
A. If a player gets upset with the opposite team player, then he could

Another unsportsmanlike conduct penalty is if a player on the opposite team uses his finger and waves it; that is called taunting.
C. Lastly, a person who is really upset with the opposites team player could get up in his face and say some type of language. Then he gets penalized or get thrown out. According to The Morning Sun the Rams coach Jeff Fisher said, “The in-your-face taunting, those types of things, the language.” Also he says, “We are going to enforce the current rule in the unsportsmanlike conduct.”
II. The next rule change in the NFL is horse collar.
A. As stated from Kelton Brooke in the Hutchinson News newspaper he said, “… illegally for players to grab the name plates of another player results in a horse collar.” For example, one of the players on Kansas City Chiefs grabs a jersey from a Green Bay Packers player then the player from the Chiefs get penalized.
B. Lastly, pulling on the opponent’s jersey could get his feet underneath him.
III. The last rule change in the NFL that I am going to talk about is extra point.
A. Now the extra point is kicked at the 15-yard line. The extra point before the NFL changed it was at the 2-yard line. According to an interview who Mike Pesca did with Rachael Martin. Martin says, “15-yard line is a little harder for the kicker because they only made 96 percent of the extra

    Over the past twenty years, the National Football League (NFL) has seen its product grow and blossom into America’s premier fan viewing sport. The NFL currently has 31 franchises in cities located throughout the United States. Some teams are located in major markets like New York and Chicago, while some teams are have put down their roots in smaller markets like Kansas City and Indianapolis. No matter how big the market or how poor the teams performance is on the field, one thing is constant, the NFL, the NFL owner, and the NFL players are making millions upon millions of dollars playing a game. The NFL is a money making machine. The kind we all wish we could operate or own. Every week the NFL rakes in the profits. Wherever there is money to be made, rest assured there is greed rearing its ugly little head. This project focuses on the 2011 NFL Lockout and the negotiations that eventually led to a new collective bargaining agreement (CBA) that was signed in July of 2011. (ESPN website, n.d.)…

    One rule that has been changed this season is when a player loses his helmet, the play is immediately whistled dead. And now during the field-goal the defense cannot position any player on the line directly across from the snapper, who is considered defenseless. While NFL is actually concerned of the players health risks there are other sports who don’t do much about the health risks. UFC is an american mixed martial arts sport. UFC allows kicks to the head. Being able to kick the opponent in the head is ridiculous. A fighter on the receiving end of a knockout has been concussed. A concussion will have a negative long term effect on a person’s health, yet we so often hear of a fighter being “okay” after being knocked out. The rules of this sport should be modified immediately because lives are at risk. It shouldn't matter if the “sprite” of the game is changed, the lives of the athlete matter…

    If the NFL truly cares about its players like they preach, then they should be taking stronger actions than they have now. The NFL should be enforcing stronger punishments and investing more money towards research of concussions and head trauma in the league. This would better the NFL and its players by making it a much safer league. In the end players want to remember their time on the field, not forget it from not being protected…

    On top of the off the field work that the NFL and other organizations do to protect the players, they also implement controls on the field to help prevent concussions. These controls are in the form of penalties. Penalties are determined by the refs and impact the offending team negatively, and if a penalty is bad enough a player can be ejected from the game. This is done in order to change the way the players play. An example of one of these penalties is a flag for helmet-to-helmet contact.…

    The NFL and NCAA football have lots of things in common, but I like to lean toward the NFL for being better to watch. The National Football League (NFL) was founded in 1920, and only two teams currently in the NFL is the Decatur Stanleys now the Chicago Bears and the Chicago Cardinals now the Arizona Cardinals. College football was founded on November 6, 1869, and it’s played by student athletes. They both have their good and bad with the rules but I love how the NFL rules are played out. It’s a difference how the players are ruled down in the leagues. To be ruled down in the NFL the runner must have been touched any sort of way by the opposing team. In college a player is down whenever any part of his body other than his hands or his feet…

    The reason Roger Goodell placed this rule in the NFL was because he believed it would help make the game safer and promote more sportsmanship. “I believe that’s consistent with what we believe are the safety issues,” Goodell, commissioner of the NFL, said during his annual State of the League address two days before Super Bowl 50. “But I also believe it’s consistent with what we believe are the standards of sportsmanship that we’ve emphasized. Although it may make the game safer it only provides players with less opportunity for mistake and more pressure than they can handle. If they make two accidental fouls that don't even harm another player then why should they get punished. Since when has a player ever gotten hurt because of a false start. This rule is foolish and should not be used.…

    The NFL (National Football League) uses many forms of technology. You may not realize it but they actually have a lot of technology in there everyday games. For example they use headphones to communicate and they use a scoreboard to keep track of the score and to know how much time is left in the game. They also use tablets to make up plays. As you can see there are multiple sources of technology and more that I haven’t even mentioned. Right now, I will only talk about one of these pieces of technology. That one piece of technology will be the earpiece that quarterbacks and coaches use to communicate with each other.…
