This year is suppose to be the first year that if you lead a tackle with your helmet it's a penalty. Like really? What is our awesome sport coming to?

I was always taught to tackle hard and I was taught to shoot in and slam my opponent on the mat in wrestling. If you cant take the pain in a contact sport maybe these people should pick up finger painting.
I agree but you have to look at it from a career standpoint. All they're trying to do is limit the injuries. Leading with your helmet can cause damage to your spine and paralyze you. Plus concussions can end a career.

Some rules are just stupid though.
