I dont know why the NFL has such a hard on for altering the game of football

[–] Yolectroda@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Offsides has been a rule for over a century. I'm not sure if enforcing offsides is altering the game of football.

Because they don't see QB sneaks as "exciting" so they'll throw a flag for offsides and kill a drive so the fans can see the most electrifying play in all of sports entertainment, the punt

Punt returns are pretty exciting if it isn't just a fair catch.

Because to the NFL its not a sport its an entertainment product. They weren't pushing the Swifty nonsense so hard because it was good for the game, only because it was good for their bottom line.
