The money didn't motivate the hit the satisfaction of having that money handed to them by their peers did.

But you missed my point. There is a distinction between a reward for hitting and a reward for injuring. My coaches would never have given us extra praise
because we injured someone when we hit them. They'd give us a hell of a lot of praise for how hard we hit the guy. And yes, that could possibly cause an injury. But mostly it could cause a tackle, and intimidation, and that was the point. It sounds like this bounty was not about good hits, it was about injuries. that's more than ZERO difference, it's an incredible difference.
