Quote:That's the very definition of a newly introduced policy.


2011 wasn't decades ago, and it doesn't have to have been introduced last spring to qualify for being "new."

I was only trying to show that it was introduced four years ago and not just put in place this year to prevent Seau's family from speaking out against the NFL. Without this information it clearly looks that way.


Maybe the HOF did make this change four years ago to prevent this type of thing from happening but in that case they were way out in front of the curve on the whole issue. So no it is not a new policy just like a 2011 Chevy pickup is not a newly introduced vehicle.


For the record I think it should be the families choice whether to speak or have a video played. The living HOF's get to babble on about nonsense for extended amounts of time. A great player like Junior Seau deserves for his family to speak on his behalf if they so choose.
