Please read my whole post again, I never said Rashford actually skipped stones
I fully understood your example and explained why it isn’t valid with another specific footballing example which you’ve conveniently completely ignored
EDIT: Actually to make this more clear for you, the equivalent of “skipping stones” would definitely be a Mane like situation as you’ve said. Your foot has no place in such a position if there are other players around.
Rashford’s foot was not in such a position however, in fact itwas in a completely normal position for a football match. His studs were facing the grass (you know, exactly where they’re supposed to face) and he was planting his foot to step on said grass. It’s the equivalent for punishing someone for swimming in the lake and kneeing someone under the water who they had no idea was there in the first place
