During the 2010-2011 season, many football fans believed that Roger Goodell had been targeting the Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker James Harrison for illegal hits to players. Now this season Ryan Clark has been fined two weeks in a row for hits that were said to be illegal, but from most perceptions he is just playing physical. Clark was fined 40k for hist "illegal" hit to Baltimore Ravens wide receiver in the forth quarter of the game. In the same game, Ray Lewis hit Hines Ward helmet to helmet which is a huge issue in the NFL today. He only received a fine of 20k. The ironic thing about the hit was it knock Hines Ward out of the game.
I find it hard to believe that Ryan Clark's hit was worse than that of Ray Lewis. Again, Roger Goodell has some issues to work out with his fines system.
