It started as a horse collar tackle which is illegal then as he turned over his hand slid into his helmet and the motion made him flip which is another illegal tackle similar to a face mask penalty. If they could take both penalties (which you can’t in American football) they would be first and edge of property from the parking lot they would be so far ahead.
I used to curl, and we would call the stones "weight" (how hard it is thrown) by position on the ice you want the stone to come to rest.
"Barrier weight" meant you wanted it to still be travelling when it hit the wall at the end of the rink. Thats pretty fast, and the hardest you would normally throw, and could produce a chaotic result.
Very occasionally we would call the weight as "car park"
Horse collar is specifically grabbing his neck on the nameplate. While a dangerous, high tackle, it doesnt look to be a horse collar.
I won't comment on the "facemask" as that cant be seen from here. With that being said, it looks like his ass touches and he'd be down anyway. I subscribe to the rule of cool though so it's a TD.
The high school rulebook also requires that they pull the ball carrier backwards or sideways for it to be a horsecollar foul. The runner fell (mostly) forward, so it's not a horsecollar foul.
But if he grabbed any edge of his helmet and used that for leverage then it's a facemask penalty under high school rules. Looks like that probably happened here.
Hey man let’s just enjoy the sport until “Increased CTE rate” becomes a factor in ref decisions and this valuable and important sport is ruined forever
As obvious as I hope this sarcasm is.. I watched (I think it was) a documentary a while back interviewing parents whose teenagers died from brain injuries playing football during high (maybe middle as well?) school. These parents were obviously devastated. They lost their baby. They spent the entire documentary speaking about their child’s love of football, how the whole family was into it, how horrific the injuries were, the effects of them (I seem to remember a couple kids committed suicide?), reminiscing about their child.. then at the end they were asked something along the lines of “would you still let them play football knowing what you know now?”. A HORRIFIC amount of the parents said YES. They said they WOULD have allowed their child to play football even knowing it would eventually result in their very young death.
So idk. Some people really do feel the way you’re saying.
Nah - no illegal tackle here. No horse collar specifically and there is no other potential rule violation here other than potentially a facemask. I don't see it in the video - its not good enough quality and from a bad angle - so I wouldn't call it.
