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.
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
To start a play both teams line up in an approved formation. Those who are directly on the line are called lineman. Those standing behind them are line backers. The ones giving support from the corners (out by the people trying to catch the ball:receivers) are called corner backs. And the ones way back for safety measures (ball being thrown way down field) are called safteys.
Offsides, means someone was over the line
False start: means someone on the line started moving before the play started.
Not that you likely care about any of it but all of the names in football are very basic straight to the point names.
“Hands to the face” <hitting someone’s helmet/face region
“Facemask” < grabbing someone’s face mask
“Unnecessary roughness” < you got it
Most of them are all there to reduce injuries and balance the chances/advantages of each side.
Sports are meant to be easy so anyone can pick them up quickly. The hardest part of football is just understanding you have 4 downs to move 10 yards. Failure to do so, ball goes to the other team.

If I was a capitalist, I would have the rules always just replay the down. Extend the game time. Sell more commercials, concessions and merch.
Bro Wat? Just say: ”American Football bullshit." Sorry, your explanation hurt my head.
He could not have explained it any better and your response is: “I’m a moron”
Well done sir.
Listen this isn’t a fancy sport like futbol where they just make up extra time at the end.

American Football, where two wrongs CAN equal a right. Provided they’re wrong enough.
Not equally wrong? Or do they have to be both equally(ish) wrong and egregious?
I know nothing of american football

Well I looked into it a bit, and interestingly those are indeed words that you used there.
