In some sports, forfeits are common place and not much is thought of them. In other sports, forfeits denote serious malpractice by the forfeiting team and almost never happen. Football is a forfeits almost never happen sport.

If you hear that a football team forfeited a game, your first thought is probably what in the world did they do that was that bad.
