There are a lot and it seems like football has a crap ton.

In no order, but this might be the worst, if you fumble the ball out of the end zone, the other team gets two points and the ball. It's mind-bottlingly dumb.

The formation and motion rules. Why do seven players HAVE to be on the line? Why does it matter if one is "covered up" outside of some 1927 weird offensive formation which may have made sense back then. What would be wrong with Three players on the line and eight off it?

Why do the OL have to be motionless, but other players can run right before the snap? The DL can move/shift/do a somersault but the OL has to be a freaking statue?

What are some other dumb ones?


edit my dumb point above.
