If we're parsing English (and IANAG - I am not a grammarian) and if you connect the two parts of the rule,
"Such actions include, but are not limited to ... attempting to gain an advantage by interfering with the ball after a goal or by failing to immediately pass the ball to the nearest official after a whistle is blown",
the second use of the word "by" indicates that the "failing to immediately pass" is a method of gaining an advantage.
If that's not the intent, the rule should be reworded. Just adding a comma or semi-colon can't fix that.
Was it disrespectful, though?
