One can argue that the game is violated because of instant replay and game changing penalties that benefit only the offense, like a spot of foul pass interference that gives the offense more than 15 yards and a first down.
You’re comparing apples and oranges. Most penalties are part of the game on an even playing field so you simply have to accept the calls made by refs. Cheating by intentionally deflating footballs to gain an unfair advantage is not part of the game. Who wants to watch a game for a pro sports league when they know one team doesn’t have to follow the rules?
