There is fighting in football as well and penalties are often assessed.

Because football players stand on the sidelines rather than being sent to timeout is immaterial.

- In football, it alters your team's position on the field (I think). Different sport, different penalties. - Guy Mar 10, 14:15 4
  - In football, being a man up or down earns a penalty. -- nm - the liioulu with less Mar 10, 14:16
  - I like the idea of forcing a team to play a man down for 1,2, or 3 plays in lieu of yardage penalties. -- nm - znufrii Mar 10, 14:16 2
    - That would be a disaster. Nearly every penalty would result in a huge play or score. - Guy Mar 10, 14:20 1
      - what better incentive not to get a penalty? - znufrii Mar 10, 14:22
