Why is a fist still fourth down? Most people have four fingers. And nobody looks to the ref any more to know what down it is from 200 feet away. There is a score board in like every ten feet of the stadium and in this stadium there is a board bigger than Rhode Island.
There is literally zero danger that anyone is going to be confused whether a ref has three or four fingers extended.
A fist is zero. The fact that it used to be necessary is a bad reason to keep using it. It’s like a rotary phone. Or a folding map.
