Because the league doesn't care about the players or the fans when it comes to eliminating or reducing money streams. They'd rather come up with asinine ways to try and circumvent the real problem instead of just dealing with the problem itself.
I kind of wish I had started keeping track of every rule change or proposal since Goodell took over. Would be curious how long that list is now.

Of course they don't, which is why it's absurd to change the overtime rule over a potential disadvantage, its just lip service
They reduce OT from 15 minutes to 5, all that means is 5 additional minutes of commercial time they can fill to recoop lost ad $$

NFL to consider 15 new rules, 6 new bylaws, 3 new resolutions
Posted by Michael David Smith on March 23, 2017
NFL owners will vote on a wide variety of potential new rules, new league bylaws and new resolutions, covering everything from whether a player can leap over the line of scrimmage on a field goal to whether a team can opt-out of the league’s “Color Rush” uniforms.
2017 rule proposals
1. By Philadelphia: Gives additional protections for long snappers on kick plays.
2. By Philadelphia: Prohibits the “leaper” block attempt on field goal and extra point plays.
3. By Philadelphia: Expands the “crown of helmet” foul to include “hairline” part of helmet.
4. By Philadelphia: Amends the challenge system by granting a third challenge if a club is
successful on at least one of its initial two challenges, and expands reviewable plays outside
of two minutes of each half.
5. By Washington: Eliminates the limit of three total challenges per team per game and
eliminates the requirement that a team be successful on each of its first two challenges in
order to be awarded a third challenge.
6. By Washington: Moves the line of scrimmage to the 20-yard line for any touchback where
the free kick travels through the uprights.
7. By Buffalo and Seattle: Permits a coach to challenge any officials’ decision except scoring
plays and turnovers.
8. By Competition Committee: Makes permanent the rule that disqualifies a player who is
penalized twice in one game for certain types of unsportsmanlike conduct fouls.
9. By Competition Committee: Changes the spot of the next snap after a touchback resulting
from a free kick to the 25-yard line for one year only.
10. By Competition Committee: Reduces the length of preseason and regular season overtime
periods to 10 minutes.
11. By Competition Committee: Gives a receiver running a pass route defenseless player
protection.
12. By Competition Committee: Makes crackback blocks prohibited by a backfield player who
is in motion, even if he is not more than two yards outside the tackle when the ball is
snapped.
13. By Competition Committee: Replaces the sideline replay monitor with a hand-held device
and authorizes designated members of the Officiating department to make the final decision
on replay reviews.
14. By Competition Committee: Makes it Unsportsmanlike Conduct to commit multiple fouls
during the same down designed to manipulate the game clock.
15. By Competition Committee: Makes actions to conserve time illegal after the two-minute
warning of either half.
2017 bylaw proposals
1. By Washington: Amends Article XVII, Section 17.1 to eliminate the mandatory cutdown
to 75 Active List players.
2. By Washington: Amends Article XVII, Section 17.14 to place a player who has suffered a
concussion, and who has not been cleared to play, on the club’s Exempt List, and be
replaced by a player on the club’s Practice Squad on a game-by-game basis until the
player is cleared to play.
3. By Washington: Amends Article XIX, Sections 19.8(B) and 19.9(B) to permit clubs to
opt out of the “color rush” jerseys created for Thursday Night Football.
4. By Competition Committee: Liberalizes rules for timing, testing, and administering physical examinations to draft-eligible players at a club’s facility for one year only.
5. By Competition Committee: Changes the procedures for returning a player on Reserve/Physically Unable to Perform or Reserve/Non-Football Injury or Illness to the Active List to be similar to those for returning a player that was Designated for Return.
6. By Competition Committee; The League office will transmit a Personnel Notice to clubs
on Sundays during training camp and preseason.
2017 Resolution Proposals
1. By Philadelphia: Amends the NFL’s On-Field Policy to allow clubs to have an alternate helmet in a color to match their third uniform.
2. By Competition Committee: Permits a club to negotiate and reach an agreement with a head coach candidate during the postseason prior to the conclusion of the employer club’s season.
3. By Competition Committee: Permits a contract or non-contract non-football employee to interview with and be hired by another club during the playing season, provided the employer club has consented.
