Obstruction and Interference are rules in place meant to reverse a wrong and give the offended team what they would likely have had if the infraction did not occur. Many, if not most, OBS & INT calls are the result of an unintentional act, so why do we want to take this sport and turn the rules into a matter of vengeance when not necessary?
