Tush push may not be going away despite criticism

There is no single play in the NFL that has become more polarizing than the tush push. You also better get used to it and all of the complaints and criticisms that come with it, because there does not appear to be any sort of push to ban it this offseason.

Nobody has offered rule change proposal to ban tush push

Rich McKay, co-chairman of the NFL's competition committee, said on Sunday that he has not seen a team put forward any sort of rule proposal change that would ban the tush push or make it illegal. 

Banning the play actually made it to a vote last year, but it did not get enough support from NFL owners to ban it. 

It has been a polarizing play ever since it became a key part of the Philadelphia Eagles short-yardage success. The arguments against it ranged from it being too difficult to stop to how ugly a play it can be to watch, to potential player safety issues. 

This past season, the argument shifted to how difficult it is for the referees to officiate, given how many missed calls and quick whistles impacted the play. 

But if nobody feels the need to propose a rule change, the play is going to be here to stay.
