There’s little use debating this. It’s against the rules and he knows it’s against the rules, but he hasn’t changed his behavior.

I don’t agree with every rule at my workplace, but I know that if I break them I will face consequences no matter how righteous I act or how many former co-workers came out in my favor.

Jackson actually has a better chance of changing the rules of his workplace than most workers do because he’s part of a union. If he and a majority of the NFL players wanted to change the rules back, they could propose that and negotiate it with the owners and the league. They could even strike if they felt strongly enough about it. But that won’t happen because many players are happy with rules that keep them safer. And it wouldn’t be great PR to strike for the ability to lead with your head unpunished.

The best thing for Jackson to do is change the way he plays. If he doesn’t he’ll cost the Broncos more wins and himself more money.
