During an NFL football game, each coach has the ability to challenge the referee's ruling on the field at the end of any play. (There are lots of restrictions on this right designed to discourage its use in all but the most important plays.) Let's say a running back bursts through the line for a gain of 12 yards and then is tackled by a linebacker. As the running back is going to the ground, he fumbles the ball, and a player on the other team falls on it. As the defense is jumping up and down and celebrating this turnover, the referee blows his whistle and signals that the runner's knee touched the ground before the ball came loose, so there's no a fumble on the play, just a normal tackle.
At that point, the coach on the team that just lost the turnover can throw a red flag on the field, stop the clock, and challenge the play. However, he must throw his flag before the other team snaps the ball for the next play. If he chooses to challenge, and throws the flag on time, then the referee must watch video replays on a small screen set up on the sideline. He sees the play from every angle and at different speeds to determine if the ruling on the field was correct. While the ref is studying these replays, every person in the stands is also watching the replays on one of the largest video screens on the planet while the fans at home watch the same replays on their 72" high-definition TVs. Everyone sees what the ref sees and can come to his own conclusion about the play.

Attention president Trump-Throw the red flag!!!
It’s like the Democrats are Alabama, and their linemen can grab, hold, cheap-shot, target to the head all they want...and the refs turn a blind eye, or call holding on the other team.

Earlier this morning Fox and Friends reported that the University of Vanderbilt installed a female Student as a Football Player.
Yep, this piece by Matteucci is too convoluted. I’m sure there is a point in there, but it is lost.
I’d like to see it explained with puppets. After all, Biden figuratively at least, is one.
Or they are Clemson...and your receiver can catch the ball turn, take 4 steps, have the ball stripped and returned for a touchdown and on review, the catch be ruled an incomplete pass.
She's just a kicker, which means that, 99% of the time, she has no risk of being tackled by a 250 pound linebacker.
But when that ultimately happens, she will likely be crippled for life
How about a 5 card stud poker analogy? You have a good hand and lay down 4 Kings. Your opponent laughs and spreads 5 Aces on the table.
Everyone knows your opponent cheated, but the media says 5 Aces beat 4 Kings any day.

You want me to present “chess analogy” of the game of football, are you trying to be funny?
NFL sucks. Could you try an analogy using something American, instead of the kneeling fags league?

I don’t know if I can do chess but I’ll try.
A player took his hand off the piece but immediately saw his error and quickly grabs the piece back, moves it, and tells you to go. The player knows he ended his move and shouldn’t have done that but he knows if you didn’t catch it and play proceeds, it won’t matter.
The media and the cheaters know what happened but they’re rushing through to normalize the cheat so it can’t be undone.
It is difficult to cheat at chess.
