Unless it is causing significant injury, I see no reason to ban the play. It was the Packers who asked to have it eliminated.

That is the reasoning for asking it to be banned. I can't remember the team, but one team lost two lineman on a single play while attempting the push. The exaggerated close quarters of the play restricts freedom of movement which can more easily result in injury.

Edit: The team was the Giants.

"That rush play was the "tush push," which has been made famous by Jalen Hurts and the Philadelphia Eagles. Giants head coach Brian Daboll confirmed Schmitz injured his shoulder and Bellinger sustained a knee injury on the failed attempt by quarterback Daniel Jones to gain a first down."

The Chiefs' Chris Jones was also injured on the play in the Super Bowl.

I'm not necessarily in favor of banning it, but those are some reasons being given.
