The NFL has fired three officials.

I recall a book being hawked, quite a few years ago, maybe on over the air Howard Stern, maybe Glenn Beck? The author was discussing cheating in sports and he said it was so prevalent that he no longer watched any sports except for pure entertainment in the moment, that he had lost all confidence in “rooting for a home team” in an “honest” competition anymore. I don’t recall the author or the book title. could have been 25 yrs ago.

AA was still wrong. DEI is just AA by another name. It means legal discrimination against white people, mainly men.

I am not arguing AA was right, but AA was at least a LAW, companies had to comply.

DEI is not law, companies voluntarily do this nonsense

+1.

I wish I could go back and reuse the time I spent. I can’t, but never again. Not going to waste the time I have left.

“affirmative action”

They keep changing the name. Quotas is also now a dirty word.

That and the kneeling for the anthem and the way some of the players act off of the field.

Send them back for more woke training.

May the NFL disappear into the dustbin of history for their anti-American diatribe and support of Communist organizations such as Black Lives MatterTM.

Sounds like “The Fix is In” and “The Fix is Still In” by Brian Tuohy.

Actually I just heard recently that the NFL was bringing in technology for next season in the placement of the ball.
Meaning there will be AI technology to know when the player carrying the ball crosses 10 yards from the previous spot to obtain a First Down. Also, it will be used for BALL placement.

This resulted primarily from blown calls in the AFC Championship game when Buffalo Bills QB made a First Down and the Refs could not see it. OR the fix was in for the Chiefs to win, as many people claim(wink, wink, nod, nod).

The NFL has to do this IMHO with the amount of money being bet on all these games. IF people perceive that these games are FIXED to benefit one team over the other then people will stop betting. It is all about the money.

The one black woman I did see on the sidelines had a big bazoola

Is a bazoola one of those obnoxious plastic horns you hear at third world sporting events?

The real news here is that females can get demoted in today's NFL.

The white hat is for the referee, not the head linesman

If they just went by the ground, this wouldn’t be debatable. None of this crap ‘plane of the endzone’ or how far did he lean forward then get pushed back’ stuff.

Touchdown is literally that. Touching the ground of the end zone. Foot, knee, ball, whatever. Downs are down. Where did what part touch the ground first. All of which is objective and easy to replay.

That “crap” has been in place since 1889.

They said the same about boxing which was the biggest thing and then it wasn't. Football is hanging on because other professional sports such as baseball, basketball, and hockey have dropped far worse.

These leagues are chasing sports gamblers because they're the last large demographic left.

The problem with chasing gamblers is that when they find something better to gamble on, they'll leave the NFL behind, just like they did with boxing and horse racing. Yeah, those sports are still around, but they're a shell of what they once were.
