NFL Rule 7, Article 3...

(a) The snap must start with ball on ground with its long axis horizontal and at right angles to line...


I was never that good at math, but wouldn't a football's long axis be from point to point? How is that horizontal unless it's parallel to the line of scrimmage?

I wish all football rule books were written in English.
