Here's the Comment in it's entirety:
COMMENT: Football has been and always will be a game of deception and trickery involving multiple shifts, unusual formations and creative plays. However, 
actions or verbiage designed to confuse the defense into believing there is problem and a snap isn’t imminent is beyond the scope of sportsmanship and is illegal.

				Third this play is totally outlawed at the NCAA level. If they fake tacking a knee the play is to be shut down.

 The OP's play was during a middle-school game.  Unless it was in Texas or Massachussets, NCAA rules don't apply.  FED has no such specific prohibition.
