About football.  Blocking, tackling, sacking, holding, interference, roughing, unnecessary roughness, encroachment, illegal hands to the face.  Players punishing players.  It’s a rough sport.  But “Illegal Touching“?  A player goes out of bounds and is the first one to touch the ball when they get back onto the playing field.  They can’t come up with a better way to call that particular foul than Illegal Touching?  That sounds more like maybe a chess player accidentally tapped the other player’s rook.  C’mon football.  Let’s step up our naming game.
