Can't tell if sarcastic.

Probably those 9 people wouldn't be thinking about it enough to realize that a lot of action might've occurred before the foul. If they actually saw it on the field, I doubt many of them would think that a foul that occurred +/- 40 yards from the previous spot should be penalized from the previous spot, let alone a foul that occurred after a change of possession. They're just giving a glib answer to get on to more interesting questions in the poll, like who should be president or whether GMO organisms should be banned. They'd think you were just asking a screening question to determine whether the respondent was familiar with football, for some reason the poll taker wanted to group such respondents.
