With all due respect, that's nonsense. There certainly is fan
appreciation for good clean hits and empathy for the recipient, but
that is quite different from what you believe.


I hope you are right about this and I am wrong.

You'll hear a lot more yelling and screaming when a touchdown is made than when an illegal hit is
made. You'll also hear announcers praising well-done plays and condemning many of the illegal hits.
