Although much progress has since been made in eroding the distinction between misfeasance and nonfeasance, it still remains true today that an obligation to take affirmative action is imposed only in exceptional cases where the parties stand in some specific relation which commits one of them to a duty of taking positive steps for the protection of the other. 2, record 2, English, - positive%20action

In interactional or non targeted sports ... it is the failure of one of the teams to take a positive action that results in a score for the opposing team. That is, there is no definite delimited well defined scoring action. Any legal positive action taken by the offense can result in a score (can constitute a scoring action) if the other team cannot respond by keeping the action going. ... An action scores if the defense cannot make a positive action. There is also correspondingly no distinctive defensive action: positive actions are simultaneously defensive actions. 2, record 4, English, - positive%20action
