helmet, but he still launched himself at the guy and blew a defenseless player up with a shoulder shot. In other words, that was NOT a form tackle or an attempt to strip the ball. That was an attempt to blow somebody up using his shoulder as a battering ram.

They acknowledged that it was a perfectly legal tackle.Read the rule book.

Re: Where is the rule that prohibits launching?

Defenseless Player
ARTICLE 14. A defenseless player is one who because his physical position
and focus of concentration is especially vulnerable to injury. Examples of
defenseless players are:
b.
A receiver attempting to catch a pass,
or one who has completed a catch
and has not had time to protect himself or has not clearly become a ball
carrier.
The guy had just caught a pass and was not yet a ball carrier when he got completely blown up by somebody who jumped OFF HIS FEET in order to spear the guy with a shoulder. It's like in hockey when you see somebody leave their feet to crush somebody into the glass. That's no longer a legitimate attempt at a body check.

Where is the rule that prohibits a player from launching at

or otherwise otherwise tackling or contacting a defenseless player?
I see the rule that prevents targeting a defenseless player, which is defined as leading with the crown of the helmet or initiating contact above the shoulder (neither of which the coot player did), but no rule that prohibits any other type of contact with a defenseless player. Where is that rule?

But "launching" (leaving the feet) alone is not a penalty,

or at least as far as I can tell. It must lead to initiating contact above the shoulder or with the crown of the helmet to be considered targeting. Neither occurred in this case, thus no ejection. That's why it looks to me like they are admitting they blew the call before the next play begins, but are unwilling to reverse the call, and the penalty stands.

This is the rule so far. Once the call is made, the penalty cannot be reviewed / overturned, whereas the ejection can be. It's wrong, but they are trying to protect the unprotected player. The rule might change, but today, it is the rule. It has happened numerous times this year already.

call, and there is absolutely nothing preventing them from setting things right, from correcting their mistake, and not allowing their error to unfairly impact the game, yet they say "oh well" and refuse to do so.
Mind bottling.
