get the call wrong - either they should have thrown a flag or throwing a flag was the wrong call. So they made it all illegal and removed the judgment of the refs.

2) "Makes it Unsportsmanlike Conduct to commit multiple fouls during the same down designed to manipulate the game clock." You see this at the end of a game, a team will tackle the opposition to run out the clock. It doesn't seem sporting. If it's 4th down with 15 seconds left a team that's leading by 7 of less shouldn't be able to manipulate the rules to kill the clock, they should have to punt and defend one last play.
