Ban hip hop at SB halftime shows instead.

Tackling is atrocious enough and football is an inherently rough game we don’t need a rule that the refs can misinterpret and just throw their nonsense into another area of the game.

 Put flags on them and call it a day.

If we keep outlawing various tackle types, there won't be any left.  Plus, that gives Refs one more way to rig the game.

I say cut the number of refs on the field to 3.

Too many tackles around the waist can turn into that tackle shown above. Maybe more likely, a lightweight high-strength brace to protect the knee laterall, required for rb's, te's, wr's, qb. But that is serious stress on the knee for sure. Similar to how Joe Theisman's knee injury happened.
