So "clearly reporting" is now going to be subjective, just like snapping the ball after the play clock reads 0, completing the process of a catch, roughing the passer, pass interference, moving before the snap. Is there anything else that I'm missing? The NFL is literally just making shit up instead of fixing rules to make them less subjective.

Not only is the process of the catch a thing, it took the owners 2.5 years AFTER the ref made up some bullshit on Calvin's catch to make it a rule. Because it broke the whole passing game. They needed over 2 years to come up with some rule to fit the nonsense without killing modern football.

THAT is the length the NFL will go to cover up referee mistakes.
