The 32 owners of the National Football League have voted today to keep the infamous “Tush Push” in the game. Despite many reports that the play would be eliminated, especially with NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell reportedly wanting it gone, the move failed by a count of 22-10. They needed 24 votes to ban it. Owners also voted to alter the onside kick rules for 2025 as well.
The ‘Push’
I’m on record many times stating that I don’t like the Tush Push for myriad reasons. First, I don’t believe it to be a football play. It’s a rugby play and last I checked, football isn’t rugby.
