So to me that's what the rule is saying : "You guys know when you're over doing it and we are going to call it now".
They show some serious hits in this video and you can see that some are just way over the top when "sportsmanship" is considered.
It's really only a basic "unnecessary roughness call" in simple football rules.

football is becoming so competitive, that if you DON'T lay someone out, you'll be off the team. its better to have over aggressive players that you can "calm down" that a bunch of Nancys who you have to yell at.
problem also is the padding is becoming increasingly better, so hits can be harder and hurt less. think of 20 years ago, do you think they would run at you full speed with that shitty plastic helmet and weak padding? no!
it's almost like we are turning into a nation that watches sports for blood... like the roman times
