Informative Speech On Nfl Rules
Specific Purpose: To inform you about three new NFL rules that are currently used.
Central Idea: The NFL is improving the way for the players not to get hurt.
Preparation Outline
Introduction:
I. Who in here have recognized that the NFL changed the rules in the past year?
II. I have seen on TV and read online that the NFL changed the rules to help with so many injuries to decrease.
III. Today, I am going to tell you about three new NFL football rules that already taken place this past year. First, I am going to talk about unsportsmanlike conduct. Next, we are going to talk about horse collar. Last, I am going to talk about extra point.
Body:
I. Unsportsmanlike conduct.
A. If a player gets upset with the opposite team player, then he could

Another unsportsmanlike conduct penalty is if a player on the opposite team uses his finger and waves it; that is called taunting.
C. Lastly, a person who is really upset with the opposites team player could get up in his face and say some type of language. Then he gets penalized or get thrown out. According to The Morning Sun the Rams coach Jeff Fisher said, “The in-your-face taunting, those types of things, the language.” Also he says, “We are going to enforce the current rule in the unsportsmanlike conduct.”
II. The next rule change in the NFL is horse collar.
A. As stated from Kelton Brooke in the Hutchinson News newspaper he said, “… illegally for players to grab the name plates of another player results in a horse collar.” For example, one of the players on Kansas City Chiefs grabs a jersey from a Green Bay Packers player then the player from the Chiefs get penalized.
B. Lastly, pulling on the opponent’s jersey could get his feet underneath him.
III. The last rule change in the NFL that I am going to talk about is extra point.
A. Now the extra point is kicked at the 15-yard line. The extra point before the NFL changed it was at the 2-yard line. According to an interview who Mike Pesca did with Rachael Martin. Martin says, “15-yard line is a little harder for the kicker because they only made 96 percent of the extra

    Over the past twenty years, the National Football League (NFL) has seen its product grow and blossom into America’s premier fan viewing sport. The NFL currently has 31 franchises in cities located throughout the United States. Some teams are located in major markets like New York and Chicago, while some teams are have put down their roots in smaller markets like Kansas City and Indianapolis. No matter how big the market or how poor the teams performance is on the field, one thing is constant, the NFL, the NFL owner, and the NFL players are making millions upon millions of dollars playing a game. The NFL is a money making machine. The kind we all wish we could operate or own. Every week the NFL rakes in the profits. Wherever there is money to be made, rest assured there is greed rearing its ugly little head. This project focuses on the 2011 NFL Lockout and the negotiations that eventually led to a new collective bargaining agreement (CBA) that was signed in July of 2011. (ESPN website, n.d.)…

    One rule that has been changed this season is when a player loses his helmet, the play is immediately whistled dead. And now during the field-goal the defense cannot position any player on the line directly across from the snapper, who is considered defenseless. While NFL is actually concerned of the players health risks there are other sports who don’t do much about the health risks. UFC is an american mixed martial arts sport. UFC allows kicks to the head. Being able to kick the opponent in the head is ridiculous. A fighter on the receiving end of a knockout has been concussed. A concussion will have a negative long term effect on a person’s health, yet we so often hear of a fighter being “okay” after being knocked out. The rules of this sport should be modified immediately because lives are at risk. It shouldn't matter if the “sprite” of the game is changed, the lives of the athlete matter…

    One of the other main issues is the fact the players do not like the call either. Watching Bolden’s targeting call during the Michigan-Michigan State game, he was set up for disaster. If you watch the play being reviewed, you see that this senior linebacker was pushed into the Michigan State player after attempting a tackle. Many other college and NFL football players were upset about the call, one of them being Ohio State's own Ezekiel Elliott— agreeing that it was a terrible call.…

    Rather than fines and later game suspensions, the NFL should enforce in game benching. This rule would force a player to sit out for the rest of the game if they gave an illegal hit. This would make coaches much wearier and force them to coach their players about legal hits. The NFL should also do more than just punishments of other players but they should speak with sports networks that often show these illegal hits in their top plays. Sportcenter on ESPN is an example that has a segment in their show called “SC Top 10”. Many time illegal hits have been shown on this top 10 because they are glorified by fans and considered jaw-dropping. The NFL has worked with these networks about fans that streak during games, so they should work with them on illegal hits. By doing so these hits won’t be given much attention and eventually lose…

    Personal Foul Rule

    The reason Roger Goodell placed this rule in the NFL was because he believed it would help make the game safer and promote more sportsmanship. “I believe that’s consistent with what we believe are the safety issues,” Goodell, commissioner of the NFL, said during his annual State of the League address two days before Super Bowl 50. “But I also believe it’s consistent with what we believe are the standards of sportsmanship that we’ve emphasized. Although it may make the game safer it only provides players with less opportunity for mistake and more pressure than they can handle. If they make two accidental fouls that don't even harm another player then why should they get punished. Since when has a player ever gotten hurt because of a false start. This rule is foolish and should not be used.…

    Injuries in the Nfl

    In America sports are important but football seems to be vastly more important and more widely known as a specifically American sport. The overwhelming topic on any sports network such as ESPN and the NFL Network are the growing number of lawsuits against the National Football League concerning head injuries and lack of concern that the leaders of the NFL had about the risk players were being put in. Both sides of the lawsuits are passionate about their ideas and making sure that they are not only heard but that action will take place to resolve the situation as a whole. George Orwell states that “one can choose – not simply accept – the phrases that will best cover the meaning, and then switch around and decide what impression one’s words are likely to make on another person”. (115) The power of words can make or break an argument; the words surrounding the NFL Controversy are no different inevitable, permanent and intentionally misleading players putting them at serious health risk.…

    The NFL (National Football League) uses many forms of technology. You may not realize it but they actually have a lot of technology in there everyday games. For example they use headphones to communicate and they use a scoreboard to keep track of the score and to know how much time is left in the game. They also use tablets to make up plays. As you can see there are multiple sources of technology and more that I haven’t even mentioned. Right now, I will only talk about one of these pieces of technology. That one piece of technology will be the earpiece that quarterbacks and coaches use to communicate with each other.…

    Concussion

    • 5 Pages

    When watching a football everyone looks out for the “Big Hit” but what people don’t look out for is the after math of these so called big hits, which a lot of the time leads to concussions. These concussions are becoming much more severe and there is a lot of concern about the safety of players who attain multiple concussions, not because of the immediate problems it might bring but the future toll that it could take on the athlete’s brain and body. The feelings of dizziness, headache or short loss of memory at the moment may not seem so dramatic at that point in time In some instances a player will attain a concussion but won’t alert anyone because they fear being benched but don’t realize the real danger that they are making themselves susceptible to in the long run. For these reasons, the NFL office officials are carefully changing rules and regulations to keep these players safe from possible concussions and head trauma. Concussions in the NFL are at an all-time high which is not a positive sign for these current athletes who attain multiple concussions because of long term symptoms such as Alzheimer’s, depression, and possibly brain damage.…
