Officials can ONLY call what they see and for some strange reason that perspective is NEVER shown. We get to see many other angles, using slow motion and freeze frame, all with zoom. Officials have a fraction of a section to make the call, the viewing audience has all day to make the call.
By the same token, officials are making some bad calls, maybe they are a bit gun shy because of all the review cameras, maybe it is because of all of the silly rules that are being constantly added to make the contest “safer” or to improve the contest. Attempts to draw more viewers?
If you do not like the officiating then perhaps YOU should put on the stripes and show us how to properly officiate the contest. Perhaps we all could show the officials the same respect that we want for ourselves.
This is why I have stopped watching sports that have officials, the product(s) SUCKS!!!
