football, goal line/side lines, the same rules?
One last game before end of season, lets talk football and discuss your opinions between the side line and goal line rule differences.
QUESTION: Why is it when a receiver catches a ball across the side lines, but feet in bounds, it is considered in bounds even though the ball broke the side line plane.
But, when the ball crosses the goal line, even though both feet stated in playing field, ball crosses the plane of goal line, thus TD.
Why aren't both lines treated the same?
Should a touchdown be a true touchdown, contact with playing field passed the goal line. (I guess that makes two questions)
Would like to get everyones opinion
HOW ABOUT A CHOICE:
If you had to choose between these two rules, ( treat goal/side lines the same, or make TD a true touchdown), which one would you change?
