Well John McCain tried to get it banned a few years. IT seems like this is sort of a half ass way of doing it. What they are trying to do is gauge the public outcry. But even the loudest complainers will see the impact it makes on even the smallest workers.. popcorn salesmen and so forth.They no they will make a dime, especially in the non-urban areas.
Banning kicks/knees to the head of a downed opponent gives an unfair advantage to Jui-jitsu fighters. It guarantees that knockdowns end up in the downed fighter's guard, because that is the only legal way to attack.

If they're willing to try it out there's no question it'll make money. Boxing's interesting but it can't compete with MMA. That's just my opinion.
