However, I also understand safety and how the game is changed.I think sliding is an obvious sign that a player has given up on the play. Where they start sliding is an okay rule to me. Again, I get it is about safety.That seems like an easy question to answer and maybe I'm making it more difficult than it is. When a player dove like Heinicke did I feel like it should be when he is touched.I get it though. The rule is fair in a sense that it makes the call more objective. If he takes a big hit there then it's a personal foul. I'll be honest here. I don't have a great answer to this situation and maybe it is the best answer already. Just as a football fan I don't like the fact that he dove to score a TD, wasn't touched, and the score is taken away. It just doesn't seem like football. It is what is is. I'm just never going to like the rule. Good thing is that it doesn't come in to play a great deal. Most times the slide is the way a player gives themselves up and that is even more objective.</blockquote>
