Talk:Holding (American football)

"Holding by the offense against the defense is the more severe penalty"

This is opinion, and debatable at best. Defensive holding may only be 5 yards (as opposed to 10 for offensive holding), but it grants an automatic first down, regardless of the yardage needed on the prior down. I'm removing this line from the article. 63.101.88.126 (talk) 19:05, 7 January 2013 (UTC)
