[QUOTE="TRF C A Iversen, post: 344820, member: 12312"] No part of your post said you condoned it. I said "I think the only way that anyone condoning that kind of tackle will learn is to receive one themselves". That is saying [B]if[/B] [B]someone[/B] condoned it then they'd probably only learn to dislike those tackles by being on the receiving end. I never mentioned you personally. Why did you think of yourself when I said "someone"? Also, although the relative size/weight can make for an interesting discussion on how things would go if they were reversed, the fact is it's illegal and dangerous no matter how big you are. I've seen a halfback nail a monster prop in the throat with a swinging arm and drop him. The prop was wheezing really badly and had to be carried off. At the end of the day illegal play is illegal for a reason. I'm not into anyone being entertained by it as Muzzy apparently was. I tend to find it slightly more agreeable the way ranger has described it when making reference to putting a desperate arm out there. That has merit sometimes as an excuse, but it's not the tackler I'm criticising as much. It's more the blood hungry "yeah shot bro" crowd. [/QUOTE]
