Roger Goodell says extra points may be abolished

Quote:What? Sorry, but that made very little sense.

 

So, you're voting for no changes should have been made since 1930? Every change since then has had a segment arguing against it.

 

How is pro football like NASCAR? I'm sure there is a better analogy out there.
 

I don't know where you got that he said that, because he never said that no changes should have been made.

 

Progress is good.  But Change for the Sake of Change is not progress.  That every change has had a segment arguing against it, doesn't automatically make the people arguing against this change wrong.  Nor does it make the people arguing against the other changes wrong just because the changes still exist (assuming they still do)

 

For example the Tuck Rule, which was in effect from 1999 - 2013.  It was recently repealed by the league.  

Every change they make, no matter how successful the league is, doesn't make the change 'right'.  Otherwise rules would never be reversed.  The league and it's owners are not infallible.  Change can absolutely be bad.

 

You seem to be suggesting that they are infallible because they are successful.  That is not the case.  Being successful does not mean being perfect.

 

I was wrong about Trent Baalke.
