but, let's not let innovation have ANY part of our past time. **** it... innovation is baaaaad. real bad. hell, why do any of us use technology? after all, we were better off before the innovations of the industrial revolution.

There's a big difference between innovation and evolution of the game and getting butthurt because you can't cheat. A-11 changes the entire aspect of the game to the point that it's not traditional football anymore. This isn't some little rule change enacted for the safety of the game. If it were so innovative, then why has it been analyzed and flat out rejected by all established football organizations?

Go get innovative on your tax return and see how much the IRS commends you on your breakthrough adaptations...
