They should be allowed to change what they want if they deem necessary. Its an important part of progressing as a league, or progressing just as a society really. If the US had to keep every law that was ever passed without change, it would be pretty shitty haha.
I also think its worth noting that this is just an extreme circumstance. I certainly never thought this would happen, and given the guy almost rushed for like, -100 yards? I think its worth a reevaluation
Again, no one is contesting that. Rules can and should be changed. And i hope this specific rule is changed to allow different decisions depending on what happened. But the rule says one thing and they literally went against it. And the fact that the rule was created by someone else makes no difference.
