+308 It doesn't really make much sense that the refs for a football game throw the flags onto the ground. It's like... Ok. Let me go pick that up now... amirite?

They throw it on the field so everyone can see it and it's apparent that they are calling a penalty.

Refs usually throw it in the air so every can see a penalty as occurred..and then it hits the ground. It's not like they're just going to wave it out or something; no one would notice..this isn't Soccer.

The refs usually throw it where the penalty happened.
