A Needed 2007 Addition To The Unsportsmanlike Conduct Rule

[The Gun Of Bavaria]

No player shall at any point in time during the course of a game, request, demand, or in any other manner, whether it be via verbal statements, or nonverbal hand gestures, attempt to persuade and/or demand that an official throw a penalty flag for any reason whatsoever. Any player who violates this rule will be assessed a 15 yard penalty for Unsportsmanlike Conduct and a Loss of Down.

I agree, but for the first 3 weeks, games would take 4 hours and each team would look like the vintage Oakland Raiders in their personal foul counts.
