Re: this rule reducing goals:
-Removing illegitimate goals is a good thing.
-If linesmen know that offsides can't be overturned, they may be more willing to blow whistles on plays that are onsides. With a challenge rule, they can err on the side of letting the play stand, which is a good thing.
Re: homer bias resulting in Flames fans hating this rule.
-Yes, I think this is a real thing. This rule negated two flames goals. It 100% makes sense for that to have an effect on how Flames fans view the rule, consciously or subconsciously.
