Frankly I love what the UFL does with broadcasting the conversations regarding close calls It gives transparency and you understand what the referees are seeing. I think that makes them seem a lot more fair.

As someone that’s been a referee, umpire, etc, it’s a very difficult job. It’s all hate and no love from the fans, players and coaches. I can’t imagine the pressure of pro level refs.

People will never appreciate and give refs the credit they deserve for how difficult and nuanced their duty really is. They have faithfully performed the most thankless job in all of professional sports and are almost only ever mentioned when it is in a negative context like when the call on the field was incorrect, etc.

@AndrewBairdarbe59 Месяц назад

The NFL has placed a lot of emphasis on trying to get the human element, the personality, of its players out front and center. It's mostly a matter of trying to appeal to a younger generation that really wants individual authenticity and not see these guys as chess pieces. It seems like maybe they ought to do the same with the refs. Let these guys have a marketing department or someone who runs social media profiles on them to show people the human being behind the referee. On the other hand, MLB has a major problem on it's hands with its officials. That's a culture of no accountability and arrogance where the quality of job they do seems not to be their highest priority. I think this video, for me as a fan of both NFL and MLB, shines a huge spotlight on the commitment to excellence that NFL officials have compared with the lack of accountability that the MLB umpires demonstrate.

You gotta remember that we watch with our 4k TVs looking at it from all angles. There is only 7 refs on the field accounting for 22 players. Its hard for them to catch everything. Then when rules have it set up where they cant correct certain things it forces them to be right on first glance.

Blows my mind that with this much prep and tech that elementary calls are still blatantly missed. Even the announcers are starting to speak freely about it. Week 12 Bills vs. Eagles comes to mind. I think the officials on the field have a tough enough job, mistakes happen. But when 3+ angles of the same play are available and the review center still blows it, you gotta wonder.

@BrendanGeormer Месяц назад

I'd still love to see more transparency by the officiating crew in the NFL like has been seen in the spring leagues. Even if nothing shady is going on like some people believe (such as with ties to gambling), having clear and consistent rulings for the audience to understand the game is critical, as well as good for building trust and ensuring the air of competition is strong as opposed to being more of an entertainment product like the WWE. On the case of it being difficult, there have to be reasonable ways to make the job easier, using things like replay and sensors and all sorts of currently prohibited innovations which would improve the game, but are left out for sake of tradition (see: the first in-helmet radios).

Gambling supported and endorsed by the league challenges integrity of the officials. Blowing calls even with replay, not using an eye in the sky says you don’t want to make the game officiated better. Lack of ACCOUNTABILITY hurts your perception. Good fluff piece. Too many calls at the end change outcomes/odds. I’m not a gambler just a football fan. Lions screwed in Dallas AGAIN!
