NFL considers to abolish extra points - 美式足球

簡單說

NFL 考慮全面廢除加踢 extra point, 以後只要 TD 就是七分.
你可以選擇用傳統進攻方式拿第八分, 不過如果失敗 TD 就變六分.
基本上沒有太大差異, 只是把加踢分該成自動算進而已..

文中說支持這項改革的論點是
本季 1200 次加踢只有五球沒踢進,
在 pro-football level 加踢只是浪費時間而已


(有點好奇踢丟那五球的是那些人???)

NFL considering proposal to abolish extra points

Speaking Monday, NFL commissioner Roger Goodell said the league could
eventually abolish the extra point.

"The extra point is almost automatic," Goodell said. "I believe we had five
missed extra points this year out of 1,200 some odd. So it's a very small
fraction of the play, and you want to add excitement with every play."
Goodell said the league is intrigued by a proposal that would automatically
grant seven points for every touchdown, but still allow teams to try for an
eighth point via a traditional offensive play. The catch is that if you fail
to convert, the touchdown then becomes worth only six points. Perhaps the
most perfunctory play in sports, extra points serve almost no purpose at the
professional level.
