Why the Saints bounty penalties are too harsh

I'll make one last point on this topic and I'll jump off it (until the player suspension come out). I have a couple football players in my classes. I won't say which one specifically said this because I don't want to get him in trouble. But one of my student-athletes told me (when I asked) that talk of which injury-prone star of the other team needs to be "taken out" is ALWAYS part of pre-game prep. The only difference in a "bounty system" is the money. The risk of injury does not go up one bit.

Exactly, because that's football.
