Questionable calls caught on camera.
I waffle on this. The amount of coordination it would take to actually have a campaign of influence over NFL games would be hard to keep quiet for this long. SOMEONE would talk...even if by accident..
It's way more plausible that it's just gross incompetence with zero desire from the top to change anything. The NFL is a giant money maker and they don't want to jeopardize that.
That's what logic tells me. Then I watch a few games and see the refs basically give the game to one team or the other and I have to start wondering if it's fixed. It HAS to be fixed, right? Like....the officiating cannot be this consistently bad without some kind of influence from the top? If it's just incompetence then it is truly impressive how bad they are at their jobs.
