Really?!? The players union has to approve all rule changes? How the heck did that happen.

And while this particular mistake is rather mundane, there seems to be a significant number of others that would warrant a correction.

So much for attention to detail and trying to do things right...

1) Because the player's union must approve all changes. They won't.

2) Because (on the IF rule and similar), it'[s not an issue -- everyone knows how it should be called and calls it that way. It's only some internet geeks who would even recognize the discrepancy and / or think that it was an issue.
