It actually should be dis-allowed:
1) It's not in the spirit of the game.
2) Wait until you have a Def Tackle paralyzed. If they're handling the weight of four guys, one of these DTs is going to get laid out in a big way.
Where's the fuckin power box, Carol?

Yeah, two votes short of banning 'the push'.
I never liked the push to begin with.
If leapfrogging over a lineman to block a place kick is a penalty, then the 'push' should also be penalized.
It's the same damn principle.
Most of these RBs like Barkley, JT, CMC, Derrick Henry, and others are built like Peterbilts, do they really need a push from behind?

Aiding a runner used to be a penalty. That was a rule for a long time. Should not be allowed.

20 years ago pushing a ball carrier was a penalty. And NOBODY had an issue with the rule.
If anything the game should be evolving away from rugby, not towards it.

The Athletic is full of shit!
It was close and I was hoping it would be banned. It looks like a rugby scrum. I hate it.
