Sure.. just like drawing a foul in basketball. If you decide you want to take a hit and you get hurt.. I understand what you are saying. In football that’s never the issue. It’s very hard to draw a facemask or draw a blow to head... sure maybe the latter is possible.. but unlikely. I think you might be a basketball or baseball fan who doesn’t watch football. If that wasn’t the case you wouldn’t be saying such things.

I watch plenty of football. Did you see the Denver vs. Pittburgh game, in which Harrison took out Eric Decker's knee? He was obviously trying to hurt him, and he did. Took him out of the game, and it was a perfectly legal hit. No penalty, no fine. That's the way it goes. It's a brutal game.

I've seen it plenty of times in football, that a receiver is guilty of his own hanky-panky, pushing off, yet draws an interference call. Happens all the time. It depends upon what the refs see, or don't see. Or overlook.
