punting
Punting generally refers to the action of kicking a ball, specifically in sports such as American football and rugby, where a player drops the ball and kicks it before it hits the ground, in order to give his team a strategic advantage. This is often done on a fourth down in American football when the team on offense decides to kick the ball to the opposing team. In a broader context, punting can also refer to delaying, avoiding, or passing along a decision or responsibility.
