Thesis (M.A.)--California State University, Fullerton, 2013.

The actions taken by the National Football League (NFL) to mitigate the threat of injuries to quarterbacks were constructed using an inappropriate framework. By failing to take into account the incentives of the offense, policy makers are exacerbating the problem---altering the game in such a way that increasingly violent strategies prevail as optimal. It appears both theoretically and empirically that defensive yardage penalties, assessed for fouls typically committed during passing plays, augment payoffs in such a way that the intention of decreasing injuries is offset by increased passing frequency. In contrast, offensive yardage penalties assessed for feigning illegal contact or being intentionally reckless decrease the probability of injury. Finally research and education regarding the long-term effects of injuries, which allow players to more accurately project the expected costs of violence, have the potential to reduce the probability of injury, and depend on the relative magnitudes of the players' reactions.
