The Fritz-Pollard alliance, which checks the NFL for diversity, wants the league to put in a rule in which the players would be penalized 15 yards for using certain words, like the n-word or the f-bomb. They don’t mean “trash talk”, they mean hateful, discriminatory language that doesn’t have a place in the game.
But some feel the move would layer yet another unnecessary rule on the game, and that players can police themselves if they really want to. Still others say, expecting players to soften up their language while they’re beating the crap out of each other is just unrealistic.
So do you think curbing offensive language should be an official part of the game?
