Not replaceable with free media because (WP:NFCC#1)	The software or website from which the screenshot is taken is copyrighted and not released under a free license, so creation of a free image is not possible.
Not replaceable with textual coverage because (WP:NFCC#1)	The dicker-rod is an uncommon mechanical device used during gridiron football games; its physical appearance is readily conveyed to readers through the use of an image, which is far superior to a text-only description.
Minimal use (WP:NFCC#3)	For visual illustration of the device in question, on the page about this device.
Respect for commercial opportunities (WP:NFCC#2)	The use of a low resolution screenshot from software or a website will not impact the commercial viability of the software or site.
Other information	Image comes from 21:04 of the video clip on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gkfb7dwT4IQ There are no known gridiron football leagues that currently use this device, thus there is no contemporary opportunity to acquire a new image of one.
