I hadn’t watched more than a few seconds of an NFL game since the kneeling started two years ago. The idea of Drew Brees capping his against-the-odds career with a second Super Bowl lured me back in for the last two quarters of this one.
That was the most egregious no-call I think I’ve ever seen. So obviously wrong, and so obviously game-changing that it should have been corrected immediately.
It wasn’t. The NFL is happy with an illegitimate outcome.
Because of the kneeling, I haven’t been watching, but I was still curious enough to check the scores on Sunday night. This solves that problem. I don’t think I’ll have much interest in their games ever again.
“That was the most egregious no-call I think I’ve ever seen.”
Yup. Getting beat is one thing, and certainly is a disappointment. But losing because of bad officiating is an obscenity.
