there is a HUGE difference between "the pylon is in the endzone" and "the pylon IS the endzone"

the first point you made was that the pylons are in the endzone

but your last paragraph says "the pylons are part of the endzone"

the ground below the pylon is the endzone but the pylon is not

how do you make that leap?

that's like saying another player in the endzone is part of the endzone

he still has to touch the f*cking ground!
