AJ Hawk sacks Russell Wilson. The runner is down, ergo the play is over. A Seahawk lineman comes in and hits Hawk late. Draws a flag. But the Packers want to keep the result of the play, so they have to decline the penalty.
Very reminiscent of this loophole.
In essence, any time you give up a bad play on offense (turnover or big sack) you're completely free to kick other players in the balls and poke their eyes out because the defense will decline any unsporstmanlike penalty.
