Giving a football tradition the boot

June 02, 2015 12:00 AM
NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell recently stated that he is considering eliminating the PAT kick (point after touchdown) at some point in the future. Those that want to keep it say that it’s tradition, while others argue that it’s inconsequential and should be changed or eliminated. As a former high-school placekicker and a current pro-football fan, I am not in favor of a complete elimination of all in-game kicking, but I am open to the idea of a change in the difficulty or value of points awarded.
