Well I will take the contrary position and say I favor the rule as written and as it was enforced in this game. There are serious safety issues, both with the fans and with the players, whenever they get that close a proximity where both are highly excited and animated. That is reason enough in my mind to keep the rule as written. But, additionally, the whole team is responsible for that TD, not just the one player. So do we let the whole team go over?
