To be fair, I feel like other leagues do this all the time too. Take a look at hockey. It might not be as egregious or obvious, but the winning team seems to end up taking far more penalties near the end of the game (eye test anyways) in an effort to bring the game closer. Given the $ being made in sports, the entertainment factor is just as important as the sportsmanship factor…
