Head Shots

I have mostly like what our new commish has done for our game .... but he needs to change how we protect players:

In the NHL you still pay for head shots even if it gets by the zebras in the heat of the moment .... I don't think we have equivalency to that in the CFL (correct me if I am wrong)

Muamba on Streveler is a perfect example ... should be heavy fine first offense, game suspension 2nd and multiple games after that ... I don't mean accidental contact but who can define that - - -no one is being paid to be a psychiatrist - - actions have to define intent: slipping off your tackle is different than lining some one up

I also am aware of the age old rule against one player hitting him and another hitting him low at the same time .... but that is exactly what happened to Ricky Ray last night ... the league has to police the players too and I mean the league - - not the reffs

not surprised Muamba won't be suspended, Als are already having troubles at the gates I don't think suspending their best player is going to help draw fans.

Don’t want to blame the victim but the only one of the 3 involved in the hit who changes trajectory is Ray. Appears to me he’s trying hard to get to the turf once he knows he’s done for the play as he often does and ends up in an awkward position. Would have taken a big hit without putting himself on the turf but probably would have taken most of the impact in his torso rather than the top of his head if he took the tackle.

I thought the same thing tbh and that's another reason why I'd say it's not so much a cheap shot but just one of those football plays..
