So you haven’t got a prayer, why can’t you just toss it out of bounds, or whatever? Just waste a down
TIL intentional grounding is only meant for Haaland.
Well, it could be football lol. I think going forward I will refer to people filming as intentional grounding. And to answer your question from that angle, it is a penalty because they try to intentionally Ground themselves to get the other team penalized but since being caught faking they instead get penalized.
The actual football.
yeah seriously, it’s like why not just chuck it out of bounds and call it a day, waste the down and move on to the next play
What’s a down
A 5 minute break after running for 10 seconds.
OP’s diagnosis after posting that shit here
I think you’re looking for r/handegg
To answer the question, just take the sack and loss of yards. It’s a penalty to bring balance between offense and defense.
Tossing it out of bounds sounds like a handball to me and intentional grounding is just diving for a penalty so sounds about right in modern day football
TIL that there isn’t a general american football subreddit out there. They only have r/nfl and r/cfb. The one I expected it to be r/American_football is just the German one.
