Or when a personal foul is called in HS football and a broadcaster complains that it isn't an automatic first down.

I tell you, the first time I see a free kick after fair catch live, I will be ready!
Very little of the public is going to call them on their ignorant statements. That is why they will never change unless the public attitude changes about what they say or what they know when it comes to the rules.
