Wow, prior to this thread I had no idea that the NFL was considered "entertainment" rather than a sports league.
Looked at all the legal paperwork from Spygate and American Needle and indeed it is immune from any penalty for fixing games, whereas sports like baseball and basketball would be legally liable. The NFL is no more liable for determining who should win the Steelers/Bengals game than the WWE is for deciding who should win the title at Wrestlemania.
With all that said, if Hill wanted to fumble the game away he could have done it much easier than the .02 seconds between the ball coming out and his knee touching down at the end of his run. That was..... pushing it.
