I hate the new kickoffs! (lemmy.world)

I’ve been trying to give it a chance, but watching Monday Night Football tonight kind of sealed it for me: I hate the new kickoff rules! The regular kickoff is dumb, the onside kick is dumb, the free kick after a safety is dumb. The whole thing is dumb and I want it to go away. I’m sure it won’t go away this season, but I really wish it would. I don’t think it’s enough to make me stop watching, but I think it’s exceptionally stupid.

I didn’t even care about the results of tonight’s games; I was just watching to have them on and the only thing that really is sticking with me is how dumb the kickoffs are now.

What did they change the onside kick too? It used to be it has to go 10 yards and if they received it it stayed where they landed, and if you failed to make 10 yards it was a penalty and the other tram recieved the ball. Out of bounds kicks start at the 40? If I remember. Haven't watched much this season. I liked the old kickoffs as I didn't think big returns were all that rare, but game changing. That said, I clearly understand why they would want them changed as it is an extremely dangerous situation the players are put in.
