Games would be slowed to molasses flow with incessant penalties, and drives being stopped by penalties for holding Donald or his success nailing quarterbacks or runners for a loss would result in booing fans, etc... The league can't have that. It's a dollar-driven entertainment enterprise.
I disagree, the games wouldn't be slowed, the blockers would stop holding him. I understand the need to overlook some things that are a bit ticky-tack but a blatant hold needs to be flagged. And considering that Donald is constantly double or triple teamed makes it even more egregious. If you can't block one man with two or three without holding, then they need to be shown the error of their ways. It would stop in a hurry.
Donald is a star at the level of Dr. J, shouldn't he be offered some similar protection also?
