Abandon punt! (4)
I believe the answer is:
kick
This clue is a double definition.
'abandon' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)
'punt' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)
(Other definitions for kick that I've seen before include "Punt - may be free for soccer players!" , "Strike with foot" , "Football action" , "sudden acceleration" , "Hit with foot" .)
