The NFL is abuzz with debate over the controversial “Tush Push” play, and the Green Bay Packers have officially proposed a ban. This comes after the Philadelphia Eagles, who popularized the play, just won the Super Bowl, making the timing particularly interesting.
While some teams and fans are calling for the ban, the media seems to be siding with the Eagles. Many analysts and commentators have argued that the play is legal and not significantly more dangerous than other plays in football.
The NFL owners will vote on the proposed ban in March, but it’s unclear whether it will pass. It needs 24 out of 32 votes to become a rule, and the current sentiment suggests it’s a long shot.
This debate highlights the ongoing tension between tradition and innovation in the NFL. The “Tush Push” is a relatively new play that has proven to be very effective, but some argue that it’s unfair or unsafe. The NFL owners will have to weigh these arguments carefully before making a decision.
