@shhhbreslin The spirit and intention of the rule is to not give the offense an advantage over the defense. That's the entire point of having an offside to begin with. You're proposing giving the offense an advantage.
@pintsizeox@RavenAkaFProof@momolach5@TaylorTwellman In that case we should get rid of goal posts and just have imaginary lines and let the human refs let us know if a kicked ball is a goal or not. I don't want the ball to hit 1mm of a goal post and not go in.
@hardee_ty@SweatpantJesus We should get rid of the goal posts - they're too strict. Let the refs decide if the spirit of a goal has been achieved when a ball is kicked in the direction of the opposing team.
@DavidT64605874@hardee_ty@SweatpantJesus That's not more simple, how would you possibly accurately count 50% of a persons body?? Are you gonna slice him in half and measure the halves on scales. Makes absolutely no sense. Then you'll be complain that his liver may have been offsides but his spleen wasn't.
@pintsizeox@RavenAkaFProof@momolach5@TaylorTwellman There doesn't need to be margin of error. Why would we purposely create a margin of error, a gray zone, to create inconsistency and judgement calls when we don't have to?
@pintsizeox@b3nl3n@TaylorTwellman They're not calculating a toe, they're calculating a line and if anything is beyond the line. It's not dealing with percentages of a composition of a human body.
@mRainey@MrShackleford65@TaylorTwellman So what you want is a more ambiguous rule up to interpretation - your smarter solution to a completely black and white line is to create a nonsensical gray area
