Moving Towards LOS at Snap Penalty?

Has the league just decided they don't care about calling this a penalty anymore?

It's crazy how many times every week players are moving towards the LOS while in motion when the ball is snapped, sometimes it's pretty egregious too.  This really shouldn't even be a hard one to call, it's so obvious when a player is running in motion while drifting towards the LOS, and sometimes it's not even a drift as much as clearly running on an angle towards the LOS and not parallel to it.

It's slowly gotten worse over the last few years, but this year there seems to be really bad ones and I'm not sure I've ever seen it called a penalty.

Kimd of like the false start on the guards on every tush push. 

Eh, that’s a lot tougher to call in real time, it’s only on the super slow motion can you tell when someone moved a split second too early.

These are just so blatantly obvious, saw one today where the player had to have moved a good 2 full yards towards the LOS before it was snapped, was crazy to not be called (might have been DK Metcalf, but don’t remember for sure)

Pretty sure a KC lineman at the edge moved before the snap on their 2 pt conversion

You'll only see ACC refs call that on Miami these days.
