Am I the only one who'd be very ok with AIs replacing referees? (1 Viewer)

It's absolutely ridiculous. The current year is 2023 and yet every single week, refs gets lambasted for terrible officiating. In the modern 21st century!

It's almost to the point that as if replacement refs back in 2012 didn't made a huge difference swing.

It even looks like they deliberately make terrible calls, especially what went down last SNF game.

Bring on the AI flying drones, please?!

If AIs were to take over jobs in the future, I truly hope that it's referees/umpires.

Goodbye whistles, hello buzzers!

I don’t know about going full AI, but I do wish they would use the guys in NY better. Like on our INT, where they bring in what ever his name is to analyze the play and even he said the defender pulled Yadom into the endzone. They should have called and reversed the Ref’s call based on replay.

If they can install chips in pads to make players look like Toy Story characters, or measure speed, or in the ball to measure trajectory, etc, they can use them to measure distances and exact spots on the field.

If college can do it, the NFL surely can.

So funny & sad how a college league handles this better than a professional league.

No
The league would program them to have certain biases against many teams.

LOL! Wouldn't be surprised.

I wish the gaming commission, FBI, CIA, NSA, or whatever 3-Letter organization would step in and hold the NFL accountable for questionable or suspected point shaving practices.

They don't want to improve officiating.

Clearly so.

Games would be unwatchable as offsetting offensive and defensive holding is called on every. Single. Down.

Those government agencies do not investigate, regulate, or punish billion dollar cooperations... they work for and answer to them.

Make no mistake about it… CFB is a professional league.
