Actually, I think holding mistakes over someone's head, especially when it involves something that people love, not only makes sense, but is one of the most basic of human reactions. Otherwise, why have courts or jails or even a Hall of Fame? If everything is forgetten once it's over, then why bother to remember?

It's a minor infraction in your's or my everyday life (betting), but in the context of the game it's huge. Having the say over how a team takes the field is something that Pete abused for his own benefit. This is insider trading for the rest of us, and the penalty for being caught is that you are no longer allowed to run anything.
