For lsu fans targeting can mean whatever you need it to mean. It's pretty magical

Or it can just mean what the rule states it means. In other words, not what Devin White did.
ETA: Also that the rule is applied logically. The entire premise of "Well, if you're not sure it's a penalty, it's still a penalty" is ridiculous. You shouldn't be ejecting players unless you're certain they should be ejected.

Not sure what the intent was here... I'm in agreement that the White hit didn't warrant an ejection. I'm in the Peter Burns camp 100%. Gimme a flagrant 1/2 style penalty where you can actually penalize players who go above and beyond what would be considered a normal football play while still penalizing the hit and trying to get *less* helmet/helmet collisions in the game. Ejections on judgement calls for a single play are ridiculous. Whether it's my team, your team, or a team I don't give two shits about. Just call it consistently and as close to fairly as can be done.

Which pixel is White?

Targeting is defined as forcible contact to the head or neck area. Nobody can look at that photo of Wilson and say that wasn't forcible contact to the neck area. Even the Tennessee injury report said a hurt clavicle.

The intent was to make fun of all the mouth breathers saying it's just LSU fans complaining about this call.
It's not. It's being talked about nationally.
ETA: I'm not saying you're one of them. Just using the article you posted as proof.

Just making sure. We've gone toe to toe once or twice before. Usually it is at least for actual disagreement though...

Nothing you posted is even technically correct.
Solid contribution.

Mack Wilson made a textbook tackle When did the clavicle become part of the head or neck?

If the chest (Where White made contact) is part of the head or neck area, as so many Bama fans have claimed, the clavicle certainly is. The clavicle sits above the chest.
***To be clear I'm saying neither is targeting. Before I get accused of being a homer by another Bama fan saying only White's was. Again.

Sorry but that's the rule
No player shall target and make forcible contact to the head or neck area of a defenseless opponent (See Note 2 below) with the helmet, forearm, hand, fist, elbow or shoulder. This foul requires that there be at least one indicator of targeting (See Note 1 below). When in question, it is a foul (Rules 2-27-14 and 9-6). (A.R. 9-1-4-I-VI)

I know the rule. White didn't break it.

How does one "leave their feet" only to continue to run through the player? Physics don't really mesh there.
quote:

Defenseless player has to apply for targeting to be considered. Defenseless player does not determine whether is was targeting.
There is a difference.

I am. The crown of White's helmet isn't anywhere near Fitz.
Next question, do you actually know what the crown of a helmet is?
Apparently, you don't. In regards to targeting, the crown is considered anything above the facemask.

So the crown of the helmet starts at the player's eyebrows? Yeah, I'll stick with the actual definition of crown. You know, the top.

Serious question.. Who fills in for White?
