I don't know how much that really helps in reality. The fact is 95 percent of the general public doesn't really want to know nor take the time to learn our (officials in all sports) systems, mechanics, guidelines, and interpretations.

All the major sports and levels, except for the NFL, make their official rule books available online for free and the NBA and NCAA make their case books available for free. I wouldn't say knowledge of playing rules in the other sports is any better than the NFL.
