Suggestion for a new rule for secondary school, college, and pro football. [View all]

Clearly, ejections for "targeting" aren't solving the problem.

There should be a rule that, if any players are knocked out of the game by a hit applied by the other team(offense OR defense)the team causing the injury immediately forfeits the game.

Might be the only thing that stops football from reaching the point where players are actually killed on the field, which is bound to happen one of these days.
