Definitely. I have zero issue with a clean hit that results in an injury, it happens all of the time. Hence the term competitive violence. It is a violent sport, there's no getting around that. I even have a problem with some of the new rules the past few years that basically allow primadonna QBs to bitch about a defender tapping them. They have taken a lot away from the rawness of this sport. But taking away those things, and allowing habitual illegal-hit offenders to continue to play the game completely unscathed (I'm sorry but a fine that is less than 1% of your annual earnings is no punishment) is ridiculous. Suspend him a couple games = loss of paycheck, and then maybe he'll wise-up.
