Officials are either changing outcomes or coming close
I know very little about overseas refs, but I’m guessing incompetence is not limited to our borders, either. And, if you’re like me, you can’t stand it. I don’t have enough fun at this stage of my existence for any more of it to be taken out of me.
I have a broad brush, but I don’t want to paint with it. Their jobs are hard and pressurized. Like everything else, there are the good and the bad. Unlike civilians , they get away with most or all of their mistakes. Some work as they please for decades. Remember them ruining the Padres in Game 1 of the 1998 World Series in Yankee Stadium? No competent umpire could have called Mark Langston’s pitch down the middle a ball to Tino Martinez, a pitch that should have been the inning-ending strike three. The egregious error led to a grand slam on the next pitch.
Officials also make gamblers suspicious, and the billions wagered on NFL games drive The League. Enormous TV ratings are not produced by the product.
