| has gloss | ita: Il fair catch è, nel football americano, la chiamata volontaria da parte del giocatore predisposto al ritorno del punt o del kickoff per fermare l'azione. Il gioco viene bloccato nel punto dove il giocatore ha chiamato il fair catch e durante questa chiamata il difensore non può essere toccato dagli attaccanti avversari, che altrimenti subiscono una penalità. Generalmente viene usato quando il difensore si rende conto che non ha o il tempo o lo spazio necessario per correre prima di subire il tackle. Per chiamare il fair catch il giocatore deve agitare una mano sopra la testa, come se stesse salutando. |
