I don’t pay much attention to sports talk. I just watch games, and make my own decisions. For me, if feels like a lot of the fun of it has gone by the wayside. I just feel that everything is so corrupt. Maybe it always has been this way, and I’m older now and can see it.
I think it’s just conformational bias. Once you decide on some level that the bad calls are the result of corruption instead of human error you see corruption. When you remember there’s never been a time in sports history without bad calls, and that honestly have nothing to gain by corruption results, you’ll stop seeing corruption. Humans make the calls, humans make mistakes.
