It's the flawed moments that separate this sport from those that are basically boring scientific experiments for identifying the fastest, strongest or the most accurate. You surely wouldn't design it deliberately with those flaws and if the flaws were designed on purpose they'd fail at contributing to entertainment, but ripping them out doesn't necessarily make it better. Just like you wouldn't want to fix US elections in any way at all if their purpose was entertainment. Football's purpose is.
