Stupid American Question: Why aren't throw-ins like that used more often in professional games?
My assumption has always been because its banned at that level, but I'm all about getting the real answer.

Disregarding the flipping poo poo, certain teams do use very long throw ins to create chances in the box (usually when the ball goes out close to the corner). It's sort of a high risk maneuver but teams with multiple targetmen and someone who can put in a good long throw in can pull it off. Benfica does it quite a lot and they have had some success with it.

Goal happens at about 48 seconds.

Key is that those throwins are close enough to the box that you can throw it in normally and it's easier to create a clusterfuck in the box that the defence won't react in time to. When you need to pull out the flip throw, it takes so long for the ball to get there it's not worth it at high level.

I know, that's why I started out with "disregarding the flipping poo poo". I assumed the guy was a relatively new fan and long throw ins into the box aren't all that common so I thought I'd explain when they are used.

Sorry I should have specified just the "flipping poo poo." I've seen normal long throws, but was curious about the "covering half the pitch with a flip throw" deal.

I've been a fan about 5 years now, still a noob though.

Because of the flip or goal? The keeper touched it so it counts.

Because his feet are over the line when he throws the ball

Both his feet are behind the touchline. That other line is concrete separating the track from the grass
