The league should switch back to H-shaped goalposts

[Reverend Conehead]

I think the league should switch back to the H-shaped goalposts like you see in this image. They got rid of these in favor of the tuning-fork style that is now used because it offered just one post in the ground, which meant there was only one post that a player might run into. However, that reason became obsolete in 1974 when the league moved the goalpost to the back of the endzone.

The H-shaped goalpost offers greater stability. Two supports work better than one. The league had to outlaw dunking the ball over the goalpost because of the lack of stability. I'm therefore in favor of bringing back the H-shaped one and letting players dunk the ball after scoring.

I'm in favor of going back to everything 1974.

Those were the golden years. Muscle cars, halter tops and the Viet Nam war ended.

I don’t think they had Furrys back in 1974 either…

The League should get rid of male cheerleaders.

They should also get rid of 80+ year-old general managers who haven’t won anything in 30+ years.

And don't forget all those gals in those hip hugger jeans.

I would have to agree. I was horrified to learn that the Cowboys actually had male cheerleaders decades ago. Never again, please. It's a little bit like how they tried to make the slogan of the State of Texas to "the friendship state." NO! Please, no. The Lone Star State has always been perfect for Texas.

The league should switch back to plain leather helmets. I mean screw safety!

I'd say a leather helmet has a lot more potential to cause injury than an H-shaped goalpost at the back of the endzone.

Seriously? I mean you've never seen someone run into the post in the back of the endzone in the modern age? Two posts equals double the chances. C'mon on man you are better than this!

No, not once have I ever seen anyone run into the goalpost since it was moved to the back of the endzone. Before then, you saw it from time to time. The H-shaped goalpost has better stability.

What problem is the lessened stability of today's goalpost causing?

Can't dunk the ball after scoring.
