NFL: defense bounty system

Just playing devil's advocate here but is this bounty system of injuring the other team any different than the normal confines of the game? Isn't one of the reason NFL is so popular is because of the crazy hits that players put on each other? I guess the bad thing is that money was used as a motivator, however there are incentives used in sports for reaching milestones in regards to home runs, getting an MVP, throwing x number of yards...etc. I could see an issue if dirty plays/hits were utilized, but if a clean/legal hit was used to injure the other player, really a big a deal? Once again, just playing devil's advocate. What do you guys think?
