exactly how fraud works, a "small" change for a guaranteed or increased payout.
I have played with several ex pros in several sports, alumni/fund raising/pickup, and they all know the rules very well and they all know how to cheat, or push the boundaries to think they have an edge. Whether they cheat or not is an individual decision, not a generalization. A college friend was a sailing olympic aspirant, and he built a boat (Finn) pushing to all the edges of rules limits on boat design. The result was a failure due to too thin of fiberglass which subsequently leaked through very microscopic holes. . he changed classes afterwards. . as he no longer had a perceived edge.
Cheating comes in many forms, and it's all relative, some look like racial profiling, others look like white privilege, depending upon the situation and your point of view. The greater the prize, the chances are increased. For career survival, the chances are increased.
So once you start looking and noticing, the more you will find more easily.
NFL referee head has admitted to such as the NFL is a private sports entertainment conglomerate, and success depends upon desired outcomes. Sometimes it works in their favor, and if you watch closely, you can see it in real time. . especially when the network rules analyst who explains the expected ruling is clearly wrong.
