This is why a lot of us have stopped watching football

If you can make ridiculous calls like this one, you can definitely use your "discretion" to rig a game. And that's why people don't trust the NFL anymore.

Watch this absolute non-penalty get called for a fifteen yarder with an automatic first down.

....

Roughing the passer?! They literally hit him as he’s throwing. It’s impossible to play football if this is roughing.

...

Bro, those dudes were half a second from a sack, not even!

Just absolutely ridiculous refereeing here.

And Kirk Herbstreit's commentary is just brilliant. You can tell he's been around long enough to know how to keep his mouth shut when the bookie calls.

Jack Lambert was right, they should just make quarterbacks wear dresses.

[taxcontrol]

I stopped watching when they allowed their players to kneel.

[Jeff Chandler]

I remember professional football.

[NWFree]

They’ve been calling that for a while before this year

[Mr. Jeeves]

The NFL is WWE - and has been for decades. A scripted “entertainment product” with frequently prearranged results.

[Mogger]

I haven't started watching and I'm almost 70.

One life, live it, not being a spectator.

[Fledermaus]

It was a really bad call.

[frank ballenger]

To European and Latin American FReepers:
Not this kind of football.

Same here. I'll watch football, but I choose not to consume Marxist propaganda.

Last week the refs moved the ball as the chains were coming out. And several of them shuffled around to block the camera angle.

Obvious corruption!

(Saw the video myself on X)

Instead of tackling the QB, they should have little flags you pull off to equate to a sack. And you could call it flag football.

[Murder of Crows]

Stopped watching the NFL, NBA, and MLB in 1993. Don’t miss any of it a single bit. Garbage entertainment and a complete waste of time. I have much better things to do.

[Alas Babylon!]

As far as refs go, there’s always been bad calls. That’s nothing new.

And bad officiating is part of the game.

But woke politics in football, no.

I watch football to ESCAPE politics.

[Menehune56]

Dittos!

[Eccl 10:2]

Pro sports has become a way to transfer ever increasing amounts of money and influence from conservatives to liberals.

[gas_dr]

That was called replay assist. While I am sure you will find conspiracy in that it is something I am familiar with

Remove the first "l".

[Gay State Conservative]

I stopped watching football...baseball...basketball...hockey when they started kneeling at the National Anthem.

Yep, go woke, go broke.
