IM football's no-contact rule needs roughing up
It's about as predictable as the swallows returning to
Capistrano.
Every year, conflicts arise over intramural football — and
this year is no exception. In previous falls, squabbles have
started over poor officiating, field conditions and scheduling.
just thinking
Steve turcotte
This year, the major hassle involves none of those. Instead,
it involves new rules insitituted by the University's Recreation
Intramural department.
Rules adopted this year to cut down on injuries have come
under fire from most flag football players.
The major complaint with the guidelines is the lack of con
tact involved. The new rules state that "only screen blocking is
permitted." Screen blocking is described as "obstructing the
rusher’s path to the quarterback or the ball carrier, as long as it
is done behind the line of scrimmage, with any part of the
body except head and legs.”
In layman's terms, that means no contact whatsoever on
the football field.
Being on a team myself, I have first-hand experience play
ing under these rules. I can unequivocally say they aren't a lot
of fun.
After talking to other players, I find many share my feel
ings. judging from phone calls and conversations with others,
reaction to the new rules has been negative.
Most people are griping about the no-contact provisions.
What's football without contact anyway? It seems like powder
puff football to me.
"Coming out of high school, you are still serious about
football," says one player. "The rules are not real football at all.
"You need something with a little contact," he adds.
"What they have now is too wimpy."
Some players even have opted for the sidelines because of
the new rules.
"I personally know a lot of guys who are usually out there,
but aren't this year because of the rules," says the same player.
"But there's not much we can do about the rules."
RIM Office Directro Bob Moss indicates major uproars
over the new rules at the beginning of the season since have
cooled down.
"People didn't like them (the rules) at first," says Moss,
"but now I think they are becoming more accepted."
Moss also brings up injuries. In the past, there have been
numerous injuries on the intramural field; not so this season,
according to Moss. He says injuries have been drastically
reduced.
Still, that's not good enough for some.
One player I talked to says he and his friends are so
disgusted with the rules, they’re thinking of forming their own
league next year.
That's pretty far-fetched, but there is a point there.
Something definitely needs to be done. Football isn't football
without some hitting and blocking.
