“It’s not football anymore.” Are NFL safety measures going too far?

While watching a game Saturday night, one of the most ferocious hitters in Seahawks history weighed in on his area of expertise.

“These hit calls suck,” tweeted Kam Chancellor. “I thought this was football.”

An hour later, Chancellor’s former Legion of Boom comrade Richard Sherman replied.

“Smh it’s so bad,” tweeted Sherman.

About 90 minutes after that, Chancellor added one more comment.

“It’s not football anymore,” he typed.

This was a common sentiment two nights earlier, when Seahawks rookie safety Marquise Blair picked up an unnecessary roughness penalty after tattooing Broncos receiver Nick Williams on a seam route.
