To me there doesn't seem to be any cheap shots in football. Watch tonight's game and let's see if there's anything that makes you mad.
Yes it is a hard-hitting contact sport but hits are clean and those that aren't are penalized. Hits also seem to be more about technique rather than collision. When a player gets hit out of bounds, you do see a reaction.
Hockey is so much faster and more collisions with the danger of the boards rather than technical 'tackling'. Plus there are so many cheap shots in the NHL. Like running the goalie or even snowshowing the goalie is so stupid. In the NFL they can't hit the QB late and if they hit him clealy, they don't kick dirt into his face to throw him off his game.
