The NFL Players Association (NFLPA) is once again at odds with the Competition Committee over a proposed ban on 'swivel hip-drop' tackles. The proposal, which aims to prohibit a controversial tackling technique where a defender wraps the ball carrier and drops their hips, is set to be voted on by all 32 NFL teams at the upcoming annual spring meetings in Orlando, Florida.
This particular tackle has sparked debate within the league due to the injuries it has caused to several players. NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell has been a vocal advocate for the rule change in an effort to enhance player safety.
