In a league where the rules are already stacked in favor of the offense, you can't have receivers dropping their head and folding in half when a defender approaches them in hopes of drawing a penalty. It's both a competitive and safety issue.

Not sure I like refs getting the ability to make a game changing ejection on their interpretation of a hit though. College game had some pretty awful ejections.
