I literally ask that question of myself every weekend and I don't like the answer. With that said, I absolutely hate it when players try to take an opponent's head off but then joins hands in a prayer circle when the guy is carted away from the field. There are ways to play tough defense that don't endanger lives or careers. In Atlanta's game against the Rams, an LA defender gave himself and the Falcons player concussions by lowering his head to deliver a helmet to helmet shot.
