Saints My thoughts after a few days since being ROBBED (1 Viewer)

I've been trying to be as objective as possible. However, the following sums up my feelings.

If the worst is true: the league is fixed.

At BEST: There was a conscious decision to not allow a flag to end the game, regardless of how blatant the penalty.

It will be impossible to be as emotionally invested in this game as I was before. It is sad, because like many of you, football was a family. It was a bonding experience unlike any other. The SB run of 09 helped me through some really dark times and the SAINTS lifted my spirits. It is impossible to portray, but I know many of you can relate even if life was generally good for you during that year.

It is sad to have now lost that.. I will still watch and support the team... but I can in no way be as connected to it as I once was.

And this is the real tragedy of this whole thing.

By the way, the decision to allow a non-call like this to happen would have HAD to have been made prior to it happening in real time. No way in hell TWO refs with plain view of the play don't even flinch.

I can’t watch. I’m glad you are better than I am. I simply can’t support a rigged so called game.

At minimum, call one penalty. There were TWO Penalties on that play. Helmet to Helmet was BLATANT and Pass interference, also BLATANT.

NO EXCUSE other than the FIX was IN.

Absolutely. The white ref waved off the other one. This was rigged plain and simple.

And defenseless receiver.

Also debatably a third ref, I think we have concluded it was Vinovich back behind the play should've also been able to see. NO WAY two and likely THREE refs independently thought the play was ok in real time

You are correct. Vinovich lied when he said he didn’t see the play. He’s looking right at it. If it was just a mistake the crew would of been fired already. The maggot can’t fire the. Because then they might spill the beans. Rigged.

Clearly pre-meditated decision making in this one. It's sad, that's all I can really say about it. Maybe I was naïve before but the integrity of the game was ruined.
