The reasonable person standard is a real standard, all right, but reasonable and customary practice in this instance is surely to enforce the rules. I don't see how you can consistently assert both this and this.

Reasonable in the eyes of the law and reasonable in the rules of the game would not necessarily have anything to do with each other. A1 gets clotheslined in a crowd and breaks his neck. The official was straightlined, saw nothing, called nothing. Will he get sued for this?
