A football interpretation discusses fair catch feints by a receiver and whether tackles after deception incur penalties. It concludes tacklers face a 15 yard penalty from the foul spot if the receiver completes a valid fair catch, but if the receiver runs beyond the second step or deceives, penalties may offset or the receiver loses fair catch protection depending on Rule 8 provisions. The ruling emphasizes bona fide effort by the receiver to stop and the legality of tackling after a potential fair catch.
