It ranks right up there with sliding spikes first into the bag on an easy out, roughing the kicker, leading with your helmet, etc.

When you deliberately injure another player, you should lose the privilege of being called a professional athlete forever.

Check it out next time there is a home game in ATL. Of course, since I expect the season to be cancelled or postponed bc of all this, it may be a while. BTW, here's my husband's new tshirt, for some reason I can't get the pic to migrate:
