Though I do agree that Sapp's hit was totally unnecessary and completely classless, it's "part of the game". It's an unwritten rule that when you're on the football field, you need to keep your head on a swivel because everyone is an open target from when the ball is snapped to the whistle. Sapp's hit was terrible, but putting up rule after rule like this is just going to soften a game that is based on contact. And, as many have stated, unless they specifically state who is protected by these rules and not use vague terms, this should not be put into the rule book.
