the NFL homo kickoff is a sick joke ... there’s a much better and simpler way to improve kickoff yardage if that’s REALLY the goal: just move the kickoff ball further back by ten yards for the kickoff ...

I'm all for trying out any steps taken to reduce concussions & CTE.

I'll never forget Junior Seau.

The "homo kickoff" isn't the only thing "homo" in the "modern NFL" How about the "homo ass-hump", cutely referred to by sensitive sportscasters and their girl anal-ysts as the "tush push" ... a term that is, itself, "highly homo".
(Can you sense that I'm not a fan of that tactic?)

Kick off from the 20 yard line and spot it at the 20 yard line if it goes out of the end zone. Simple.

I like the new kickoff. Moving it back won’t really help. Place kickers in the kickoff setup (ie no defensive linemen trying to kill them) can now kick the ball out of the endzone from pretty much anywhere on the field. Forcing them to kick it in play is the only way to get them to do it. My only beef is I don’t understand why into the endzone isn’t just considered out of bounds and spotted at the 40 like if they knock it out the side of the field. But it’s a good system, less running starts for big injury inducing hit, but also more actual football in the kickoff.

Get rid of the kickoff altogether and just have teams start at the 20.
