For those of you who “know” soccer, please explain why Offsides is a good rule.

Prevents cherry picking, lobbing long balls over the defenders into a small group just waiting by the other goal.

There would be no cherry picking if there wasn’t offsides, because a defender would never let an attacker hang behind

Yeah, each side would protect itself and there would be little push forward

Could you get the same effect from variants on Offsides that are less subjective

The defense would never move forwards without the offsides rule. The defense moving forward is what creates any

For those who know basketball, explain why there is a key and lane violations

This! And that pesky 3 second rule! What’s up with that?

Yep, that’s the point. Offsides in soccer actually creates more offensive chance
