If I was a capitalist, I would have the rules always just replay the down. Extend the game time. Sell more commercials.

Quill7513@slrpnk.net 2 weeks agoin american football it is possible for a player on both squads to perform an equally egregious penalty, resulting in the officiating crew certifying the results of the play despite the presence of infractions. the other option, depending on the particular broken rules, is to replay the down

Bro Wat? Just say: ”American Football bullshit." Sorry, your explanation hurt my head.

I get it, “2 penalties canceling out” basically requires a master’s degree. That’s why you never see high school dropouts watching American football while halfway through a case of beer.

American Football, where two wrongs CAN equal a right. Provided they’re wrong enough.

Not equally wrong?

it has to have a yardage offset of like kind for the play to count, and i think both infractions must be of the 5 yard variety, so basically a defender needs to be offsides and an offensive lineman needs to hold (probably the offside defender). anything else the penalties offset and you replay the down
