And why is this a penalty? It's not like he was targeting or anything.

Y’all know the difference between IS and SHOULD, right? Why do we have to keep going over this simple thing?

The pylons SHOULD be inbounds.

As I said earlier, a player can jump from in bounds, catch the ball, kick the pylon on his way down, first foot lands out of bounds and according to you that should be a touchdown.

Considering they sit out of bounds, you should come up with a good reason why, if you want to convince anyone.

If it was better for the refs they would be. It isn't so they aren't. Is that simple enough for you? :noidea:

It really doesn't make sense for it to be considered in bounds when the ball touches it but out when the player does especially when it's considered out if the ball passes the goal line but on the outside of the pylon . I know it is the rules but it's pretty non sensical

Not necessarily. But that’s better than NOT touching out of bounds while trying to pull the ball over the goal line and being declared OUT because of some pylon getting in the way

So if the ball hits a player that is off the field and bounces back in play it should be in bounds? The pylon IS out of bounds and you have given no compelling argument as to why it should be IN bounds.

i already spelled it out.
Read.

Inbounds touchdown is supposed to be vertical over the goal line. Out of bounds isn’t until you touch the ground outside. Touching the pylon with the ball is supposed to be a touchdown.
For these reasons, the pylons should be INBOUNDS.

if you kick the pylon placed inbounds, the ref can just ignore it and still have to make a judgment call if the ball crossed over the goal line before you actually touch the ground out of bounds JUST AS the ref has to do if his foot passes outside the pylon.

It’s much smarter for the pylons to be placed inbounds.

Except it’s never considered in bounds, not when a player touches it, not when the ball touches it, never. The pylon is out of bounds.

The idea is an outreached ball has to cross the goal line to make contact with the pylon. As soon as it hits the pylon it is out of bounds, but out of bounds across the goal line.
