What might be in the short-term interest of the players participating in a given game (lame and boring tactics designed to win that particular game), might not be in the long-term interests of the sport, which is to have fun, and entertain players & spectators.
Nearly all sports have manipulated their rules to encourage attacking play (shot-clock in basket-ball), fiddling with the off-side rule & banning the back-pass (football), the lbw rule (cricket) etc.
