Well to be fair you're an idiot.

So you were able to see him grab the facemask despite the fact that the ball carrier was facing AWAY from the camera on the live broadcast? Let's also forget the fact that the player was also facing AWAY from the ref who would have been able to throw the flag. By the time the player's head had turned, the hand was no longer on the facemask. So unless the referee had x-ray vision, there was no way he could have known until the replay was shown that a penalty had occurred.
