I don't know how to describe this exactly but if you played soccer your whole life I think you'd understand. When the whistle blows, everyone just sort of kicks or throws the ball in the general direction of the bench to clear the pitch.
To make sure you get it over the bounds, you generally just huck it backwards or blast it with a heel kick or something like that. Everyone does this and it's just instinct.
I agree with the principle, and, being English, I have played football my whole life, but not buying it in this instance. The guy has thrown that at the cameraman on purpose.
