My football rules complaint

[billyb]

Here is one rule that just ticks me off. The breaking the plain rule. If the ball crosses the plain of the goal line, it is a touchdown...................BULL
A touchdown is exactly that, touch down. Get a piece of that dirt behind the goal line.
Then to confuse their rules, if the ball breaks the plain of the sidelines, yet a receiver keeps his feet on the dirt inside the field of play, the ball is considered in the field of play, or in bounds. Breaking of the plain does not count on the sidelines..................BULL
If you are going to call breaking the plain of a chalked line, be consistent.

It would be impossible to check every sideline play to see if the ball crosses the plain, so I agree with the current rule along the sideline plays for the receivers. So to be consistent, make a touchdown, be a TOUCH DOWN.
No more breaking the plain at the goal line. No more diving at the corner where none of your body goes into the end zone, but they reach out, ball crosses over the pylon, TD...................BULL

JUST MY TWO CENTS
