Why is the kicker allowed to do this? Is there an exception in the rules somewhere?
Not gonna lie....I have always wondered that myself.....just like why is a holder not considered down on a fake field goal attempt.

Mine is why is a spike not intentional grounding? The quarterback is literally intentionally grounding the ball.

On a FG the rule allows the holder's knee to be down in that scenario. Don’t know about the kick off.
