Thank you for your question.

I have suggested that tackling players to the ground be slowly phased out of the game, either by penalising and reporting players who cause any injury from falling tackles, or by making that kind of tackle illegal. I think a standing tackle should still remain in the therapy as it does send a good message, in that a person can be stopped by simply restraining him, and that no further violence is necessary. This is a good thing to remember in any bar fight. A standing tackle on the combatants can put a quick end to the fighting and de-escalate the situation so that we can all stop trying to bash each other and get back to pleasant, sophisticated drinking.
