They put the goal judges not on chairs atop a stand like in hockey or tennis ... they put them on dunk tanks. Refute that as a good idea, I dare you. Guys, I just had a great idea.

A hockey goal is more square, while football has a rectangular goal mouth. Not analogous at all. @Georger: That’s totally different.
