Should a call be made by an official?
Some are advocating calling it, some are not.
It seems that both the NCAA and the NFHS want it called whether there is an advantage gained or not, and it seems that most officials are going to call it when it is obvious.

You are trying to apply a philosophy in one sport to another situation in another sport that has little or no relation. You could easily say that the offsides that was called not only was obvious but maybe affected the kicker in rushing his attempt. Maybe the blocker would be affected because they would have to adjust their blocking to a break away defender. You must have never played football if you think this had no influence on the play. I think you should stick to soccer.
