When you just gotta go...
« on: June 04, 2013, 12:08:42 AM »
An incident in Australia has led to some discussion around what the appropriate penalty/action should be in the following scenario.

I don't think there's a "correct-by-rule" answer to this (we certainly can't find one), but I'm keen to hear your views as to what you'd do.

3rd and 7 on A's 35 yard line.  The offense is still in their huddle, when B79 undoes his pants and and urinates (a) on the field of play; (b) in his team's area on the sideline.  Ruling?

Don't I remember seeing a newspaper article about naked rugby played down there...

Standards are different everywhere.

I have to admit I have no idea what I would do if confronted with the situation.

As an aside, whilst trying to Google for any reported instances of such happening, Google returned me lots and lots of results about Pee Wee football...  with both Pee and Wee highlighted as search hits...

  Yet another unusual situation -- that requires common sense.  (a) Unsportsmanlike -- 15 yard penalty; (b) I got nothing - sideline isn't my problem.
