Defensive Coordinator, Gregg Williams has admitted to overseeing a "Bounty System" that rewarded players for injuries inflicted on opposing players while he was the defensive coordinator for the Saints. This is against NFL rules but many players and former players are saying that this goes on every team and has been going on for years. Gregg Williams rewarded players for "knock outs" and "cart-offs" which in my opinion is the ugliest part of the game. There is nothing worse than seeing a player laying on the field motionless after a big hit. It is disgusting to me that players are getting $1,500 rewards for that. Many former players and current players have taken to twitter and ESPN to voice their opinions. The sad thing to me is that a lot of them are defending this. Maybe they have taken too many shots to the head, but I can't see how anyone can defend receiving money for possibly ending another player's career. Gregg Williams is meeting with league officials today. I'm sure major penalties will be handed out by Commissioner Goodell.
