Reference please? If they are so clear, tell me where it says such a thing?

You said you officiate right? Since when does the umpire deal with all tackles? Why not accuse the wings or the back judge with incompetence?

Can you show a rules reference where that is a proper response?

If you knew anything about NF rules, they do not care what a player does to defend themselves. Actually since NF rules tend to take a similar philosophy with other sports, it is very clear the NF does not give a darn about giving a pass to someone that retaliates. And certainly there is no rule that gives them a pass in football.
