1. These rules were never enforced before. As a result, enforcing them now is unfair.

This argument makes little sense under scrutiny. Is it unfortunate that these rules were not enforced in the inaugural seasons of the NSFL? Sure, it absolutely is. Does that mean we should never enforce these rules, ever, at all? Of course it doesn't. While some people will decry the timing of this decision, it has to be made at some point. And at that point, regardless of when it is, people will take issue with it. It has to happen. It will suck for someone whenever it does. It sucks for some people that it will happen now. But this is an unfortunate side effect of a necessary step.

2. These rulings are punishing a team that is already bad. As a result, punishing this team is unfair.

Again, this is an argument that holds little weight. What should the league do instead of handing down these rulings now? Must they wait for a good team to break the rules before upholding them? It's unfortunate that a bad team is the one breaking the rules. But the rules are in place, and their enforcement is paramount, even if it was not done before (see above point).

Fully agreed on both points, those are extremely weak arguments against the ruling.
