So you're asking why something that is not
needed should be done? Are you unclear about separate existence of desires from needs? Were you under the impression that everything else about a football game, including the game itself, is a necessity?
People play & watch games because they like it, even though they don't need it. The only reason officials are there is to serve the desires of these people regarding what they like, not what they need. They don't
need football, they don't need officials. However, people watching football (at any level) might
like this piece of info about penalties. Why are you averse to making them happier?
Most of the football I'm used to has no specators, or hardly any. However, I recognize that there are games that do attract them. I used to like going to watch games too. There are accommodations in many places to the desires fo such spectators, as discussed upthread. Why should interscholastic football be an exception to such accommodations?
