Are we going to see Ellingson fined this week for the late hit on Tasker?

No one cares.

If the players cared, they would direct the players' association to protect their health instead of protecting the livelihood of the headhunters and cheap shot artists.

HAM fans care, this week, because it's Tasker. Pretty sure OTT fans don't care. (They would if it was Ellingson.) And there's still a pretty big subset of fans (maybe even a majority?) who think this is all part of football and it is impossible to change this behaviour.

The League doesn't care enough to take a stand. Maybe they don't like the bad publicity. Maybe they are just not concerned about the impact on guys like Tasker a decade or two from now.

Actually I have heard that there were Ottawa fans and media who felt he should be fined for that hit. And would Hamilton fans not care if it was a receiver from another team (Ellingson or someone else)? I think many would.
