I don't know whether it's a question of some guys don't get it, or just that they don't want to get it. Football is a game, a very popular game, not a morals play. Like any other game there are rules and if the rules get too complicated and too involved thay can take the enjoyment out of the game.

Trying to set the rules to perfectly balance every conceivable possibility is a fools errand that serves nobody and detracts from the game. Current rules cover 99% possibilities, and although some seem determined to focus on the 1%, or part thereof, that is currently handled by an extra measure of judgment rather than a specific written instruction, you're spitting into the wind.

Everybody doesn't have to agree with the rules, they should however, be aware of them and accept that they must conform to them.
