The proposal of the Green Bay Packers was not adopted, the action "tush push" remains in force in the NFL.
Before the spring meeting of NFL franchise owners, the Packers proposed to vote that the famous action, which was celebrated by the Philadelphia Eagles, be banned.
It is a run in which the quarterback positions himself immediately behind the center before taking the snap, and with the help of blocks of linemen and teammates who push him from behind - hence the name "butt push" - advances down the field.
The proposal to declare this action prohibited was supported by the players' union and the committee in charge of protecting their safety. The reason for this is that there is often a literal "huddle" near or at the line of scrimmage, which increases the risk of injury.
It turns out that it's almost impossible to defend when the opponent has an attempt for a small number of yards or even less.
In order for the proposal to be adopted, it is necessary that two thirds of the league give the green light, that is, at least 24 votes "FOR".
The Packers stopped at 22-10, so the "show-push" remains in force.
The Philadelphia Eagles are the current NFL champions, and in the first round of the playoffs they beat the Packers.
Mark Murphy, President of the Green Bay Packers reacts
Mark Murphy, President of the Green Bay Packers, has protested against such things many times, believing that skills do not come to the surface here, believing that this spoils the general image of this sport.
"I am not a fan of this play. There is no skill involved and it is almost an automatic first down on plays of a yard or less."
Despite his dissatisfaction and that of many others, it seems that there will be no changes in the near future. This is certainly important news for the Eagles, and individuals like Jason Kelce feel that changing the rules like this is a negative thing.
Detroit Lions head coach Dan Campbell also believes that keeping the play would be the right thing to do.
