NFL Bans the "Hip Drop Tackle"

It has to do with dropping your body weight on the legs of the running back. You grab, rotate to the rear and then drop down on the running back's legs. Been an issue in rugby for a while now. There are a lot more tackles in a rugby game than in football. But it's only been banned in a couple of leagues, not widely. When you see videos of a bunch of them, you'd say, "Yep, ought to get rid of that."
