isn't almost every hit anywhere intentional? they're tackling!!!!

intentional is too subjective, it would have to be a obvious clear play and how likely is that? god, this sh*t is turning into NBA officiating...

How is what the players are doing any different from me suing Marlboro because I developed lung cancer after 30 years of smoking? How is it any different from me suing McDonalds because I'm obese, diabetic, and have heart disease?

After the SB, that would be a step toward the right direction.

How will they ever determine intention?

One day we will be able to tell out grandkids about the days of "football."

Not looking forward to the day when the official announces "Personal foul, touching by the defense, 15 yard penalty from the start of the touch." and having to explain to the grandkids they used to tackle back when I was their age.

Now, you're just paranoid. Touching will never be against the rules. Tackling? Maybe. ;) First, you will only be assessed a 15 yard penalty for intentionally bringing a person to the ground. Then, you will be fined. Then, it'll be an ejection. Then, it'll evolve to hitting the player in a manner that could bring him to the ground.

But touch football is safe. ;)
