  in 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

      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.

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